We spoke about my current urges to cut. She said she thinnks its because i am bored. O_0. I mean can you really have the urge to cut yourself because you are bored? I had to concur, albeit reluctantly. Brutal honesty with oneself really hurts.
Your therapist raises a good point. I'm at the point where cutting is a choice for me. I want to do it, mostly when I'm bored, to the point where I feel like the world will collapse if I don't. But I know I don't really have to, and its better if I don't.
I'm a great advocate for volunteering. I recently started volunteering with kids and I love it.
I was absolutely terrified at first,but I'm so glad I plucked up the courage to send in an application. Sometimes they ask me to do things and my first instinct is no way can I do that, its too much responsibility etc. But I always manage. And always enjoy it too. As well as having chance to socialise and meet loads of great people.
