Self-Injury Support Group
Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.
Haven't gone to my psychologist in a little more than a month because of different reasons but I'll go back to it... eventually.
However, besides the therapy itself keeping me overly anxious ever since we make the appointment, till it's over (which can be even a week); I notice that even when people say "you should feel a little more relieved after every therapy session", I tend to find myself overthinking about every single thing said during the session right after it... And if I start divagating long enough or lose my focus as my thoughts race in my brain I may end up breaking down, crying and cutting once again...
Does anybody else feel like this? How do you handle it?
Ps. Changing therists wouldn't help with my anxiety, I just have a hard time trusting people in general.

Can you talk to you therapist about you always over think things after therapy? Maybe towards the end of your session you can think up a plan of what to do after therapy so your mind isn't racing and driving you crazy.
