TW I want to self harm
Self-Harm Recovery / by Coldbrew19

...See more I’ve been having thoughts to self harm. I did this back during highschool but now I’m into my adult career. I’ve always had anxiety and depression, but it’s been bad lately. Bad enough that I want to self harm. I’m actually scared to self harm, even when I did it when I was young. My self harm has never been intense and surface level almost like scratches but enough to leave scars. That was enough to relieve some pain. During my anxiety attacks, I get the thought to self harm again. I planned to stop at the store on the way home from work to get blades and alcohol. I didn’t stop because I’m too anxious to go into a store. I need to feel something other than sadness right now.

Work Stress
Work & Career / by Coldbrew19

...See more I made a mistake at work. It’s my first job in the career I studied for in school. It’s a hard job and there’s so much going on. Mistakes like this make me feel like I’m not good enough for the job. This makes me feel guilty, or makes me feel imposter syndrome almost. I’ll get so anxious that my stomach churns and I throw up while driving to work. I moved far from home for the job and I’m isolated from all friends and family. I feel alone and depressed. I’m the type to cram down my feelings and ignore them. I’ve had an anxiety attack / nervous breakdown twice in the past two weeks. Once emotions come out and I can’t make them stop. I want to get a job closer to home. But I feel like I am running away from my problems which doesn’t seem like a good answer. I’ve started in person therapy and have had two sessions and I hope it helps me ease my anxiety.
