FG - why do you feel the need to self harm?
Is it anger based, are you angry and don't know how to direct it? I know I want to do some damage when I am angry but lash out at others rather than myself but can understand if it can turn on yourself. I tend to scream and shout when I feel angry, then feel like crap about myself afterwards. I tend to go numb and not eat to try and regain some self control.
Just a suggestion.
I don'tknow why I feel the need to self-harm. I just dislike myself so much. It probably is anger - when someone annoys me, I want to thump them. When I annoy myself, I was to cut myself. I like to punish myself.Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -

My head really hurts from all of the crying (and trying not to cry) I have done today.Dream of being mortgage free....

I know how it feels to not like myself, when I lose control and have feelings I can't handle but it isn't a reflection of me as a person. I simply can't handle something at that time.
What annoys you about yourself? What are you punishing yourself for?An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T:rotfl: :rotfl:

Its a vicious cycle. I don't like myself, so I do bad things, which I feel guilty for, and dislike myself even more.
Today, for example. I woke up feeling bad, and my screwed up logic thought that random casual sex would help. It didn't, I felt worse about me, so tried to numb the feeling with food, felt bad about that, and cut myselfStay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -

Evening all,
Hi Jen sorry I missed you yesterday. I noticed you had been missing from the thread the last couple of days. How are you feeling today? How's the dissertation coming along?
wannabe sybil I'm sorry to hear the newsI can imagine you feel quite upset by this. I know how much you wanted another bro or sis for your bear. Please don't think it won't ever happen, it just might take a little longer than you anticipated. Maybe the time isn't right at the moment anyway. You need to make sure that you get yourself well
(((HUGS))) Thinking of you.
CCStar Sorry that you've had a bad day. I hope you manage to get a good nights sleep and that tomorrow is a better day.
Congrats. to your son on his job, that's great news
feelinggood Are you back at home now? How are things generally?
dawnylou (((HUGS))) Things seem really difficult for you atm. I think a break from work is a good idea. It doesn't seem like you are at all well enough to be back working. Is your OH being supportive? Do you think counselling might help to get to the route of the problem?
ilovegreatdanes It's nice to see you posting. I hope you're OK.
Katie I hope you've had a good day.-->♥<-- Sugar Coated Owl -->♥<--

Thanks huni.
They are and it's worse because I don't know what's causing this.
I have no choice but to keep working as my wage is needed to help pay the bills and mortgage.
He is being so wonderful about everything, but it makes me feel a bit guilty as I feel I should be able to get on with things. I should be able to go to work every day and help to run the household. Everyone else does it!!!
I had a course of counselling. It didn't do any good at all.
I'm all out of ideas now.
Got an appointment at docs on Monday night but all she will do is give me more drugs won't she?
Drugs are not the answer and popping pills won't fix me. I'm sure of this.Dream of being mortgage free....
