Triggering (SI/Abuse) - Help!!!!!!

I have not posted here in quite awhile. i have been so busy with school and the kids that its just been crazy. I begin finals next week and if all goes well I have 2 classes and will graduate this summer. Heres my problem. I have been doing really well for quite awhile and have abstained form any self injury for 22 months and 3days. i am in Hell right now and seriously considering giving it all up. I seriously feel like i am losing my mind. I AM NOT OK. I am so scared of myself and what I might do right now. I know people know who I am so you probably dont know what extremes I was at when i stopped. I have had several surgeies and too many count suture and staples. i have done permanent damage to myself and am covered in scars. superficial does nothing for me and so i resort to extreme. this thing is like an addiction to me. i miss like you would miss your best friend. i am under so much stress right now and to compound it my protective order ran out so now my ex is harrassing me at school. i can not get it renewed unless he physically assaults me again. how dumb is that, i am not willing to take another. HELP!!!!!



come cry on my shoulder, I will hold you till its over !!!

Sounds like you're going through a horrible time right now, 22 months without self harm is amazing you should be very proud of that achievement. I know what it's like to go back to self harm after a period of abstinence and it is the worst feeling. I felt like I had failed myself and everyone, I was ashamed and embarrassed. I think self harm becomes such a part of your life and coping strategy that when familiar negative feelings arise, the first thought will always be the 'old friend' self harm. Try and think what consequences your self harm has had in the past, has anything positive ever come from it? Stay strong and talk to people, isolation will only cause you to loose touch with reality. Hang in there :)

22 months is fantastic! im sorry your going through a rough time
im not the best for advice atm
but if you do end up SIing, just know that the 22 months has not gone to waste, it still happened, and its still an amazing achievement
