I haven't self-harmed for a few weeks now but something this evening has thrown me so much I'm really struggling with urges. It has been hard to control them and this has shown me how fragile I am

14 May 2015 · SUPPORTER

I feel like I should be able to cope with 'normal' problems like this without feeling the need to hurt myself

I've been there before. I don't know what exactly caused my urges but I know making myself be around people made it where I couldn't go through with the urge because someone would see.

Kate W

Thanks everyone. I managed to control the urges so I'm pretty proud of that. Still feeling quite vulnerable today but I'm doing what you suggested Stacy and making sure I'm around people

Given in and decided to go home to my parents' house for a few days to get some much needed tlc. Being in bed sick is bad for my pain and my mood so I need some support.

oops meant to comment! My friends and boyfriend would look after me but they have work and he has his dissertation due/ exams to revise for so I'd feel bad taking too much of their time

Still feeling unwell today. Trying to rest up, sleep seems to be the only thing that really helps

Not feeling (physically) 100% today but had a good evening at the theatre yesterday and walked into town to see a friend this morning which was good for my mood. Have a good bank holiday pandas!

Better today I think. Making plans so I have some reasons to make myself get out of bed over the next couple of days. I know staying in bed is bad for my mood but it's all I want to do! Must resist!

Felt kind of on top of things earlier and then all my plans crumbled. I know things come up and people have to cancel etc but I feel really shaken

Sounds rubbish Kate. I hope you feel better soon, try not to let it ruin your day (easier said than done, I know) & maybe make some new plans if you feel up to it? It could be something as simple as reading a book in the sun? Big big hugs.

Daisy - I'm so glad you've managed to start reading too :) willy - I read a book in a series I like by Simon Brett. It's a sort of detective story but very light (not violent or anything).

Kate W
