You know, I feel exactly the same everytime I come here for help. It's like I press repeat. But we have to stop thinking like that as it serves no use to anyone. And you continue to suffer immense pain when you don't need to.
It doesn't bother me if you tell me the same thing 5,10 or 20 times. For you, the issue is unresolved. And that's ok.
What's happening with your pyschologist? Did you stop seeing her? Could you maybe find another one who bulk bills, or go to some organisation like Anglicare or Salvos as they have free counselling? You can't keep going this way. It's not going to do you any good in the long term and you know that.
Do you maybe need some new coping strategies?

I dont see the psychologist anymore. Im looking but not alot of luck. Ive contacted one to see if her books are still open but its a public holiday so i mightnt hear from her till tuesday/wednesday.
I dont know what i need. I didn't even use the coping strategies today. I just couldnt help myself. I dont even remember fighting the urge i just went with it and i know that isnt very good.

You will get better @outlander
It's just going to take time. And don't beat yourself up so much that you didn't try to stop yourself. It was all you had at the moment to cope. I've done the same. It's neither good or bad. It just is.
I think the overwhelming stress you're under is playing havoc with your physical health. That possibly won't improve until your mental health does.
Have you used your worry box tonight?
