I just don't understand.............

I've been a member of RYL for a few years.I haven't been on for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages,cos I haven't needed to in all honesty.I'm nearly 34.Been SH'ing on an off for 20yrs.Been SH free 2 an a half years.In that time my parents had a nasty divorce an even tho I'm an adult I found it hard to deal wiv.My Grandmother died from cancer an I looked after her in the last few weeks she was alive on my own.In short I've been thro hell in the time I've been SH free.I've managed to fight thro the urges an get on wiv things an kept battling thro.
But over the last few weeks,its just getting too hard.No matter what I do to distract myself,its there in there in the back of my head,constantly nagging away.I just don't get it.Yeah,I've got somethings going on in my life which to be honest are stressing me out,but these are things that are TOTALLY beyond my control an I have to just learn to live with them for now.But I've been thro worse an got thro SH free.My Dr's just wanna give me tablets,which I don't want.I was sent for a CBT assessment an they felt like I didn't have anything to gain from it.So I'm at a total loss now.I'm just so confused to why now.I don't want to fail an give in,but I honestly don't know how much longer I can keep fighting this for.

CBT is a very specific type of therapy that looks at your behaviours and thoughts associated with those behaviours. Your problem at the moment doesn't seem to be with the self harming behaviour but with the ideation of self harm and the lack of coping strategy. Have you thought about going for some sort of non specific counselling to explore why you feel that you need to hurt yourself to cope with all the things that are happening around you.

CONTROL - may be the key issue here. When you are hurting because of things around you that you cannot control, you may feel that you need to gain control by hurting yourself and hence controlling your own hurt?

Don't give up and stay strong. Quite often after a long period without self harm, you build a mental image of how it's going to be and how well you'll be able to cope or how the pain will distract you from what ever else is going on. In reality it's often not how you imagined it, you realise the external problems are still there and you now have an extra wound to see you and an extra scar that you didn't want.
