Urges
Hi, I feel silly even writing this as I’ve done so well lately🥺
almost two weeks ago I self harmed once and took two overdoses, lately I’ve been putting a front on and acting like I’m ok but I keep getting urges to self harm or overdose again.
my partner has moved all medication and sharp objects from the house so I can’t do anything but it’s like I’m craving to take an overdose😣
ive tried keeping myself busy but the craving is becoming intense and I don’t know what to do to make it stop🥺

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with hurting yourself. I encourage you to talk with a therapist
Please talk to a therapist. To get the intensity down of the emotions, try taking a cold shower. I get those intrusive thoughts a lot. You are not alone.
First step is getting help from a therapist or doctor.
I’m under the crisis team, they tried referring me to talking therapies but they won’t take me on as my case is too complicated. We’re now waiting for the community treatment team to see me to do trauma therapy and stabilisation therapy.
thank you xx
