Eye opening therapy appointment

[CstarL]

I went to therapy today, at the end of my appointment my therapist told me that if I continue to SH that I am less likely going to be trusted to move out or on with my life. She explained why this was so to me and I understood for the first time why I should not SH or why my life has not moved on from three years ago.

My therapist is willing to talk to my family and try to help me see what future I could have it I just give up SH. My eyes were opened today. I think the hardest part of SH for me to get over is the reoccurring thoughts.

I have not acted upon my SH thoughts in a long time. I still have the thoughts but not the action to match the thoughts. I think that if I just keep myself busy I will be able to overcome these thoughts. I have to choice between my life and my blade, I will choice my life. My life will be there longer them my blade.

Yeah my therapist is trying to help me escape from my 'spin cycle' self criticisms and thoughts, I'm glad you've made this really positive step and that your mindset has changed in a positive way! Take care. Laura. <3

This sounds so positive! I'm glad your therapist has helped you to see that here is a whole life out there waiting for you if you can leave self harm behind. Keep it up! xxxx
