I feel like my thoughts are out of control they are around SH, am safe but am struggling with the thoughts I have been so stressed the thoughts are just coming back. I don't want to have my addiction to SH again. I want to stay clean.
@Former-Member - am safe

Thanks for asking and reaching out, the more strategies we have in our arsenal the better! For me, I like to try to change my environment if it's safe. Moving into a different environment can be a really great shift.

I wish this emotional pain would stop it's not fair. I'm drained as it is. I feel like I am failing everyone. I just wanna run & hide, it's all too much. My thoughts are a mess. @Snowie - am safe

You are not failing us here @Fluttershy1
Maybe an early night might help hon. Or perhaps a puzzle.
I feel like if I stay awake my thoughts will just get worse so I am going to go to sleep early so the day is over.

I'm sorry you're in so much emotional pain @Fluttershy1, I've been there and it's a horrible place to be. It's really important that we talk about our feelings, it's great that you have reached out here on the forums but I really recommend you call a helpline if you're able to.

@Former-Member - I'm feeling angry at myself
In response to: Re: Self harm

@Fluttershy1 I'm sorry you're feeling angry at yourself, I've been there and its certainly difficult. Is there anything you can do to help? When I've felt angry at myself, I tend to write down all my thoughts and then rip up the piece of paper and throw it away (sounds odd but makes me feel better!) - do you think it would be worth trying something like this?
Take care, CalmingNature
