@Ben-RO I'm so stressed. i had a breakdown at uni today. i cant cope with anything right now. i want to hurt myself again. i called mental health and went for a walk so im a little calmer, but i still want to hurt myself. im so pathetic. i should know by now that self harm doesnt fix anything but i still do it.

A habit like SH is a hard one to break @redhead and sometimes knowing that it won't really help isn't enough to stop us from doing it. It sounds like you've been trying some strategies like going for a walk. What else could you do?

@redhead do you want to talk about something you enjoy?

@Bree-RO probably

@Nat8 I just feel so stressed and the 'voices' are getting to me.

Nat8Posted 20-04-2017 07:59 PM

@redhead is there anything anyone can do?

redheadPosted 20-04-2017 07:45 PM

@redhead are you planning on SH?

Nat8Posted 20-04-2017 07:49 PM

@redhead is there anything that triggered it after yesterday?

I don't know what to talk about. It's not as if it matters.
 
 
Nat8
Nat8Posted 20-04-2017 07:42 PM

@redhead well if you think  of something i'll be around and it does

Bree-ROPosted 20-04-2017 07:43 PM

Hey @redhead certainly does matter, how are the thoughts of SH at the moment?

Nat8Posted 20-04-2017 07:23 PM

@redhead damn....did you wanna chat?

 
redhead
redheadPosted 19-04-2017 08:47 PM
I'm just gonna have some drinks and go to bed. I'm not really up for making a new thread
 
 
Nat8
Nat8Posted 20-04-2017 03:04 PM

@redhead how're you doing today?

 
redhead
redheadPosted 19-04-2017 07:10 PM

@Nat8thanks.

I ended up self harming pretty badly and had to get medical attention. 
I'm on my way home from hospital but I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of the night tbh.

@redhead I am sorry to hear, well done on getting to ED. Also did a small edit due to graphic stuff, but I understand that's probably not the forefront of your mind right now. Do you think you would be keen to do something restful tonight?

 

What about starting a star wars thread on ro? I have a TONNE to learn about it.

Or watching some low key television?

Nat8Posted 19-04-2017 07:18 PM

@redhead sorry that you ended up going through that. feel free to chat if you like, I also need a star wars refresher 😛

The urge won't pass unless I act on it.
ATM I'm trying to go for a walk but I'm pretty sure of where it will end up tho

I also tried my case manager who won't be able to get back to me today
