What do u see when u close your eyes?

for me,
I see myself cutting my wrist.
I see bleeding scars..

The funny thing is i never cut on my arm but i keep seing it in my mind.

There's no doubt that i'm insane..

I see bad things
Like worst case scenarios
Like falling off my chair
And cracking my head open
Or jumping out a window
Or it happening to someone else

deleted_user 05/22/2009

i see my mom, shouting at me and telling me to go somewhere else because she doesn't want to see me
and then i just see the bleeding... that is about it =/

i see myself, the way i want to be. the way i should be. the way im not.

deleted_user 05/22/2009

I see myself as disgustingly boney thin covered is scars. If I carry on like this I think that is where I'll be.

I see a world of the unhappy ppl smilling and seeing the good that IS in their lives.

deleted_user 05/22/2009

i dont see anything..... just nothingness....

deleted_user 05/22/2009

I see the same thing for me. the only thing is if you look at my wrist you can see it and see that it is bad, don't call your self insane its not true you just in pain.

i see flashes that scare me
i see feelings of loneliness and pain and helplessness
i see death and lotsa other crazy shit...

deleted_user 05/22/2009

i see me in bath of blood n other sick things that i shall not say

deleted_user 05/22/2009

I see a LARGE butterfly--blue, or lavender. That comes from a guided meditation class while I was in the psych ward.

Do you think if i cut my wrist then it will stop haunting my mind?

I think i keep seing it coz deep down that's what i've been wishing to feel.

I wish i'll just see butterfly or bubbles instead, lol..

No, cutting will not make the image go away. The best thing to do is just acknowledge how your are feeling and resist the urge to follow through with SI.

When I close my eyes, I see love- whether it be in the form of my bunny, a hug from my Grandma, or the outstretched arms of a friend ready to give a hug. The important thing about seeing positive things when you close your eyes is to make a point to see them when your eyes are open. If all you chose to see is blood and pain, then blood and pain will be all that you experience.

You'll get addicted once you SI..so it's either do it or nothing at all.
