Triggering (SI) - A new low: I cut at work today

[byemebyeme]

Today I was at work (at a small local business, only three workers including me were there at the moment) and one of my co-workers started talking about how she's bored with her life and she doesn't know what's the next step she should take. I started getting really ansty because all that future stuff stresses me out...and I am completely aware it does.
I wanted to leave the situation, so I went to the bathroom (also because I had to go ) and I couldn't stop thinking about cutting.

I went to the back room...and well...you get the picture.

And sorry, I'm new here...I'm still getting the hang of the rules and stuff. So I'm sorry if something's wrong with my post (or future posts)

I guess I'm just venting and looking for some support.
Thanks for reading

Hi,
I hope you're ok and were able to look after your cut.
I know how hard it can be at work sometimes, especially if colleagues don't know and therefore don't watch what they talk about.
You did the right thing by trying to get away from the conversation. Maybe next time could you call a friend on your mobile or find something else to do to distract you. I used to do my filing when I was feeling low as it meant I was away from my colleagues but I was keeping my hands busy.
Take care,
PM me if you want to chat.

I can totally empathise with future stuff bringing up insecurities, deep anxiety. Things can feel out of control and frightening.
Do you think you could start to ponder over alternative strategies, rather than cutting, for when you feel so stressed?

Hi,

Sorry to here that you felt so bad. I cut at school many a time and I hate it but if I dont then the end result will be a million times worse.

Im new around here as well. Dont worry too much, just feel comfortable.

Feel free to PM me anytime.
