*URENT/TRIGGERING*
 

So, just help please. help me. im having a panic attack and i NEED to SH but i dont WANT to, and idk what to do........

Take some slow, deep breaths, focusing on the out breaths.

Can you tell us some more about this panic - what are you panicking about?

Remember, you NEED to talk your way through your panic attack, and return to more calm, you don't need to cut.

My mom has really wound me up and im just fuming and when i get angry i take it out on myself, i feel like im just....broken

You don't have to take it out on yourself.

Can you talk us through what happened?

I don't want to :(

There's just a lot of anger here and she treats me like a small child incapable of making my own decisions even though I'm a 19 year old adult and I'm scared that she's gonna tip me over the edge and I'm scared of what I'm capable of doing to myself

You do have the choice to take care of your body, to not do it any harm.

I hear how you feel angry at your Mum, and perhaps frightened by your anger, it's intensity?

You can feel close to that edge, observe it, and hold yourself back kindly from falling through. But your pain and anger into words, or drawing, or scribbles, or my jumping about. But you do not have to harm yourself.

*breathes* ok, i can do this. i can do this.......

You can, you can get through this safely.

You CAN do this. I promise.
