Not Coping

Ah yeah good idea @tyme.

Do you have any ideas for SH?

I haven’t done it in over a month maybe two I can’t quite remember and right now I’m have the worst feelings to do it again. I don’t know why.

Ah okay I’m sure your doc will work something out @creative_writer

TW: Self-Harm

You know what @Birdofparadise8 ? I found that SH was actually an addiction for me. I sought any opportunity to do it...

Then, after a while (a few years), it just 'disappeared'. I think with the therapy I had, and being told it's okay to do it as long as I did it safely... it sort of put me off.

Another thing, was making SH'ing 'things' less accessible. THat is, I had to go to more measures to get what I needed. IN that way, by the time I had what I wanted to SH with, I couldn't be bothered...

It's hard to explain.

But even now, I think of SH all the time. I just never do it... I'm am too occupied with more interesting things than SH'ing now.

I know it feels like such an addiction and I have craved it in the past.

I just feel if I go through with it tonight, I'll be going even further back and then I will want to keep doing it.

Well, I have all the means to do it and being in a studio apartment makes it even easier as I have everything in one room @tyme

Ultimately, it's your choice. Not one can make you do it or not do it.

However, it CAN impact your admission. I know this because it impacted me at that hospital. They are not ready to sit with risk.

They want people to want to be ready to engage in therapy.

@Birdofparadise8

You've got the choice.

Oh really, why it's not like I'll do it while I'm there, @tyme?

I was more asking if you had any techniques you use to divert the feelings.

Thank you @creative_writer , @Birdofparadise8 , I will be OK

I was texting my cousin and when she replied saying she was tiredoflife , I was worried about her @tyme , so I rang her and we had a talk , she had to include that she thinks my mum will be gone this year

There's a lot to sit with right now @Shaz51 .

I only read something the other day, that care for people like mum is not about adding years to their life, but adding life to their years.

What do you think you can do to adding that quality life for mum?

At this time, please take care of yourself.

Hey @creative_writer @tyme @Bow @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Kyle1 @Captain24,

What has everyone been up to today?
