i know the feeling, i dread going to the t, I drive 60 miles to my t and freeze up now and then, I have even turned around because I could not hadle the panic. When that happens i call her and some times we tak of the phone for a while. It is so hard at time to become healthy,. but it is worth the fight!

lost,
Please tell the T that you self injure on the way, let them know how hard it is for you to make that drive. I finally told mine and now we are working on finding someone closer....it does not help if you are not honest with the therapist...you do not have to tell them everything at once but (there is always a but) you need to let them know how much stress this brings on .
I really feel your pain, I have never self injured my self other then the eating thing, I pray you can get a handle on harming yourself. I am here for you as I knw you are here for me....
good luck today

The advice that "k" gave is priceless.
At least consider what she posted.
Remember, your quality of life is at stake.

lost, never assume! you have to let him or her know every time you are so stress out to hurt your self.. I know it is hard to talk about. I know it is exhaustting to go over and over this stuff. but I also know how it feels to finally be honest,. It hurts like hell to be honest, but it is also a relief not to hide everything.
I have been honest with the throat dr, the primary care, the therapist and now the new therapist. I cry, I lose my voice, My head hurts, but its out there and i hope now that all are on the same page we can start working on me getting healthy.
god knows I feel beat up every time I go . 30 years of keeping things to myself did not work . It is 1 step foward 2 steps back a lot of the time. I am not giving up now, I hope you do not either.

lost,
you can do it, one step at a time, I know that feeling also, I battle every week. but what I was doing over the last 30 years wasnt working, time to try a new approach.

it is just very stressful.....it is hard for me to say anyting.....i can't really just blurt out that i hurt myself on the way there.....like i said..he knows i've done it.....so he probably assumes
LIT,
I so know how you feel here. Sometimes if it doesn't come out any other way, "blurting" can be a good fall-back method. Sometimes I am the queen of "blurt.":)
I hope, hope, hope that things went well for you today with the therapist. Let us all know how it went, okay?

Hi:
Could you write everything down and just give it to him? Would that be possible? The cutting on the way to the appointment was that to reduce the anxiety you were feeling? or to get your thoughts under control? I keep one nail really long and when my anxiety is going through the roof I press the nail into the palm of hand
take care

Don't look to write volumes.
Have you ever tried "word association?"
Just write down words; whatever comes to mind(just a thought).

Lost......one step forward, two back. We all do it and many times. Try not to fret that you tried and it's didn't go how you planned. Just keep posting and keep going to the T and eventually youll see the light of day. I know it seems easy for all of us to say but we have all been there and many times for many years. We're here for you.
