bad dreams

[opalina143]

Hey. I don't know if what I used to do is even SI. I have never cut myself. Instead I would use belts and ropes to choke myself. Often these would be half-suicide attempts where I would kind of string myself up and see if I could get out of the noose before I passed out and died.

Obviously, I was always successful in doing that.

First the good news. It's now been nearly two years since I have done this. I feel I've come a long way.

But I still get nightmares where I"m trying to find a rope, or where I'm going from place to place looking for a place to tie it to.

Is there anyone else out there who hasn't SI'd in a while but who still gets bad dreams about it? Any advice?

Sometimes I have had that. Ones I had a shrink and she told me that it was a possitive when SI appeared in my dreams. I interpreted it as it's better do dream about it. IDK, that's what she said.

Yes I do.
My psych thins its a way of the body healthily playing though the urges whilst you're asleep and can't act on them.

They're distressing non the less and mybe you would benefit from talking to someone about things?
