Triggering (SI) - A down day

[mewmix]

It's taken me a while to get myself to write this so bear with me if it makes little sense :)

It's been a long day, I woke up late and then really didn't want to go to work. Despite wanting to curl up in bed I went in as I think I'm already walking on egg shells after a whole incident with their first aider almost a month ago (almost a month since self harming, so a yay for me though) I'm trying but really what's the point? I hate my body so much and I'm not sure if that feeling is ever going to change.

I also have this big appointment on Wednesday at the hospital that I've been waiting for, for almost 4 years now (gotta love post code lottery on the NHS) and I should be really happy but to be honest I'm so scared for various reasons. No matter what happens, it's a life changing appointment and I'm scared it may not go the way I'm hoping. I'm pretty sure it's also going to involve a physical exam which I'm terrified of anyone seeing my body let alone an examination :(

I'm worried how they will react if they see the self harming is still happening from the recent marks too.

Bleh, so many thoughts mushed into this head right now, I want Wednesday to be perfect but I know it won't be.

A month ago in the first aid room I made the decision to sort this out and it's just not going well, too many urges.

I'm not even sure why I'm writing this, sorry for the rant.

*offers hugs* don't apologize for writing; I think it's good that you got things out of your head. I don't have much advice; but I wanted to let you know I am reading/listening; and I hope your appointment on Wednesday goes well.

I think that when you have waited so long for an appointment and that everything seems to depend on it, it builds up to be such a big experience. Try to keep yourself as calm as you can.

I wish you luck for wednesday and hope everything goes well.
I shall be thinking of you xx
