hey...

i have been really struggling with thoughts of cutting myself and cant stop "playing" with my blades...

i just got a new therapist and am afraid to tell her about this because i dont know how she will react... i had my other therapist for four years and could tell her ANYTHING... but had to depart with her because i left my day treatment and am now in adult outpatient...

anywho... i dont know what to do... the urges are getting stronger and stronger...

i considered calling a crisis hotline, but i get really paranoid and am afraid they can track me down and such (crazy... i know

)

i am just really lost and struggling now

First of all, try to make the first big step by throwing away the blades. I know it's hard, but to get rid of the temptation will make it easier to not give in and do it. I wouldn't be afraid to tell your therapist about it. I tell my therapist about everything and they don't usually make you feel bad for telling them. They actually can help more if you tell more about what you are struggling with. One time I told them I felt like cutting again and my therapist suggested holding ice cubes in my hand. There was no condemnation from them just helpful words. let us know how it goes.
