I’m new here. I’ve just gotten over a one week injuring myself and I don’t know what to do. I am currently on psych meds for major depression. My psych doc knows I injure. He does not address it at all as he only gives medication and about 10 minutes of his time. i’ve known about SAFE for a long time as I thought maybe I should come for treatment but you see I’m 61 years old. yeah, that’s right.. 61! I don’t know anyone who does what I do to myself. I hate being me. I know I need more help but I don’t know if I can do this on my own or if I need inpatient treatment. I don’t know of a therapist I would trust near my home and who really could help me. I wish there were others like me, my age. I think at times I am crazy, need help badly. But then another day to face. I feel like I am on the edge.
hey mack
I’m 52. i’ve been able to not sh for 2 mos. almost to the day. in the last 20 years i’ve only been able to do it for 4 mos. so? i dunno. It’s a battle but i tell you i’m on a lot of antpsychotic medication and i just don’t have the urge. i’m doing something else that is unhealthy int he long run but its getting me by and i can’t even begin to say what that is.
I’m 37 and *checks watch* .. yeah, not doing too well tonight.
Don’t feel alone hon. You’re not. Big hugs.
