Sitting in class and my teacher is talking to me about some of my past and it is bringing up so much bad thoughts and memories. I just don't know what to do.. I wanna go curl up in a ball and cry.. I feel like cutting so bad and I am trying my hardest to stay clean. This is so difficult when all I hear is those bad memories. The pain, cheating, stupidity, harm, everything. All just re occurring in my head over and over and I don't know where to go from here.... I just want the pain to be over
slow, paced breathes.
Inhale. hold. and a slower exhale. Notice what you are feeling. Do you feel the coolness of the air as it enters. How does your nose feel. Your throat. What about your legs and butt. You feel that uncomfortable chair??? Notice ALL of it. Your feet, your scalp.
the more you notice and the more you breathe - the less your urge. It just fades.................
you CAN do this.
