Hello everyone. I have been trying to find some sort of support for cutting. Im not glad that we all cut, but now I dont feel like Im alone and completely insane. Make sense? Anyway, I am in counseling and finally, after about 6 sessions told her that I cut. I was so embarrassed. She was at first speechless, then suggested I wear a rubberband around my wrist and pop myself as hard as I could when I felt an urge but its not like that. Shes a great therapist but, I dont feel like she understands me when I try to explain to her the moment it comes to that. The urge comes at odd times...2 or 3 am..after not being able to sleep, crying, frustrated, Im already beyond that rational thinking stage. Does anyone know what I mean?

SI is extremely misunderstood. People, and even therapists and pdocs, just cannot figure out why in the hell someone would purposefully do something like that...they just don\'t get it! It is easier, and probably makes more sense to them, to label us with some *u*k*d up mental illness, and then fill us full of numbing drugs. Been there done that for 20 years!
I hear you and understand!!
It\'s a horrible and excrutiating pain to lose a child in any way, at any time, for any reason-NO DOUBT. But, I, recently, have had to come to \"grips\" with God. I have had to \"realize\" that HE is the one in control, and am starting (baby steps) to realize that He really does \"know best\". He is not happy about the pain it caused you, but is happy that He was able to save you both a lifetime of pain and horrible abuse.
I know this took this thread on a \"turn\", but that\'s what it\'s all about-right? We need what we need when we need it!!
Take Care of You.
