I had a dream about cutting
Apparently my wrestling to not cut runs really deep. I've been working really hard to not give in. But in my dream I cut and now it feels so much harder not to do it. In my dream it was a super shallow cut on my wrist, similar to the first time I cut in real life years and years ago.
When I woke up and realized it was just a dream I felt body slammed with a mix of emotions, mostly relief I hadn't really cut my wrist because it's almost impossible to hide...but mostly feeling really....some kind of way about not having a cut in real life. Extreme disappointment might be the right term. This depression makes me hurt so much and I miss wearing my pain on my body. I miss the validation of it. I miss the pain of doing it and the endorphin boost from it. I FUCKING hate this. Depression is exhausting in itself, but fighting SH urges is doubly exhausting and now it is going to be even harder to fight the urges today. It's 3 pm but I will probably go back to sleep. Easiest way to not want to cut is to not be awake. I know I need to work this through in therapy. I hope I get an appointment soon.

I'm sorry that you're hurting so much. How long do you have to wait to get an appointment? I'm here if you need someone to listen. Hugs.
I'm not sure. At the end of January I was told 2 months which it has nearly been now, so I'm hoping maybe a couple more weeks or less. He called me a week or 2 ago to check on me. I should call him and check in on it again, tomorrow. Thanks for reading this and responding, means a lot. Hugs back.
