So I am sitting here looking at my scars and reliving the cutting that gave them to me. I am remembering how I did it and what it felt like. I am remembering why I did it and the feeling of relese I got from the act. I don't want to cut and I keep reminding myself why I am not doing it any more. I just need a little help getting through the tough moments. I do not need to go to the hospital right now and am hoping that I can get through this without a visit to the state hospital.
I need ideas how to get through the moment, please.

Sometimes, I think I have ODD. I can be oppositional. It seems that the only times that I feel like cleaning are when I should be doing something else or I have to go somewhere. Well, not everytime but most of the time. Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table. Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...

I have a possible new diagnosis to discuss with my therapist tomorrow. It might be the answer to a question that I have had since I was 19. It's called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). It happens to a large percentage of people with ADHD, which I have. Actually, I have been watching videos about ADD/ADHD lately. I remember my Mom telling me that she watched a show on ADD and she...

It will get better *hugs* Also you might want to call your doctor and get worked in to see them.
You hold on, and know your not going to die, explode, fall apart....
You hold on to us, pick up the phone, go to a meeting (12 step/NAMI/DBSA)
You hold on knowing you have NOT cut and how proud and good that success was!
((((BIG HUG)))) I am sorry your struggling - but I want to remind you, its a illness, addiction and a very bad - no good comes of it - trial and challenge...
Keep fighting a good fight!
A good trick for me is using the Serenity Prayer like Q&A
What do I have to accept? The urge
What can I change? I don't have too
The wisdom to the know difference - you've found it before, search hard now : )
Your in my prayers and hope - wishing you peace and comfort ASAP!!!!
Can you tell cutting is not in my personal baggage car? Not to worry. There are plenty of problems to go around... Still, I find my old habits easier to modify if I acknowledge their benefit and find another source. Release (venting) emotions is an important benefit in my personal madness.
At the very least, there is strength in sharing. I'm rooting for you, sweetie. Hope you find your way.
