Popular Post Faint Posted April 24, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I self injured for the first time in 3 months ...voices and thoughts telling me to do it Dont have a therapist nor do i want one ...i see my dr every month and we talk about the cutting She thinks that am getting better with it but am not ... wanting to do it more and more as the months went on Last night was when everything started to come out about how i was really feeling about my cutting Been wanting to cut for months and i feel i need to do it again and again Until there is no more skin left for me to cut Am on medication for my voices but am on the highest dose and there nothing else they can do for me So i have to put up with the voices and deal with them I go to a hearing voices group on a Thursday but of late i have not been going due to ill health maybe i should go to it tomorrow weather am ill or not...

malign Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Is there a reason that you don't want a therapist but don't mind a psychiatrist?But yeah, I agree: I hope you do get to go to your group, and let them know how you feel about cutting more.I read the text on your avatar, "I try to hold it all inside." Would it help to tell us why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hello, Fain, welcome!I wonder what the SI brings to you (relief? punishment? ...). I imagine that you wouldn't do it only to obey the voices, would you?To which situations is it associated? Does something in particular triggers this urge / the voices?There are also therapeutic groups for those who self-injure - has you got this possibility? (I mention it only as an info, as a potential possibility, not to somehow diminish the importance of your hearing voices group)Has there been something helping you to be able to avoid the SI for 3 months? And did something cause the return of this problem? I'm sure there are causes, I just don't know if you're aware of them. Knowing better your triggers could be helpful, together with learning some coping strategies...Have you already done a research on the web? There are some pages helping with coping with difficult moments differently than by SI...Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
