hey, i no i only posted a few days ago, but i was talking to this friend of mine, we’re not real close, but she kinda confused me, and i ended up telling her, cause im a bit new to town, and i no she loves her therapist, so i thought i mite try him…but she told me i didnt need to stop, and as long as i was being safe and smart about it, it was fine (i no she does it too, but still…)
i was wonderign if i should trust her judgment or if i should still keep trying to stop, even though things arent going to well…
any advice would help (i think i no wat ppl r going to say, but reassurance that stopping is best in the long run would be REALLY nice/helpful…especially after today)
Yes stop even though things are hard right now they will turn better just wait till the other shoe drops, the good one. What happened today? If you don’t feel like answering on here then don’t e-mail me at lgabgilmore632@aim.com
thanks. thats wat i thought ppl would say, but i wanted to make sure i was making a good decision still….
i no going to a counsilor would be a good thing, but there arent a ton here, and the ones i was referred to cant c me for almost a month, and i dont know wat to do until then, especially since i dont want to go into an inpatient care thing yet (im kinda REALLY scared to…)
thanks for the support
YES, please keep trying to stop. i know it is hard b/c i keep struggling too, but it’s a miserable way to live. and maybe being friends with the person who doesn’t want to stop isn’t such a good idea. that’s just my opinion
yep, it is, but its nice to know other ppl r going through similar or the same things.
lol, my mum said that months ago.
Self-injury is not a healthy coping mechanism. It is not a natural or safe thing to do to the body. Continuing to engage in the behavior is self-destructive.
I would be personally bothered if someone actually told me to NOT STOP INJURING MYSELF and to just keep it up, as long as I don’t *lose control*. That would really freak me out. I want people to support me, but not encourage my negative behaviors.
