The following content has been hidden - Reason : trig/graphic.

last night, I was laying in my bed, and I kept having images of all my arms been cut up, blood all over, barely no skin left on them because of cuts. I'm really worried about this.

any advice?

hmz, i know its not the same; but sometimes i have dreams like that.
:( i know it can be veryveryvery triggering and scary, to have such images, so -big hugs-
am here to talk/listen & support ♥

It can be very scary and is rather triggering.

Just remember to keep yourself in the present- remind yourself of where you are, what's going on , that you're safe, etc.

Try to get up and moving and doing something to get your mind elsewhere.

Here if you need to talk- always available to listen and hug away. :)

Remember that thoughts don't have to equal actions, you are in control. Sometimes it can help to write down the dream, read over it and then destroy what you have written as if you are destroying the dream itself. Take care.

I get that sometimes, the best thing to do (i find) is listen to music to drown the thoughts out. Really try and focus on the lyrics and sounds.

I get the same images. What I find helps me is drawing on my arm with a red pen. I've basically coloured in my arm before.
Hope you are safe. =)
