*hugs* to all. Sorry. I'm so useless *curls into a ball still too big*
I'm sorry you're struggling o much. Could you talk to our partner about how this makes you feel?

Can you try grounding techniques,, and sensory distractions. Like something soft to touch something sour to taste, something loud to listen to.

Well done for trying to distract, and for making the commitment not to self harm... that's an amazingly big step. You'e bound to struggle with thoughts even if you've made the commitment not to do it. I suggest distractions like you're using and pros and cons lists about what you want to do.
I went to a hearing voices group assessment today. I talked about the abuse and rape and it was a man and I was alone in a room with him with my back to the door.Things I would never do. But I took a chance and things were okay. It was scary but I did it.
I'm trying to get started on that letter to my therapist about what happened to me as a child but I don't know where to start....
