Even cutting doesn't help... -
August 3rd 2011, 06:45 AM
Have you ever hit the point where even cutting (or SH/I in general) doesn't help?
Want to note, too, that I only recently relapsed after I would estimate a couple months' worth of being SH-free. I am in recovery, I simply had a relapse tonight and the other night... and neither of them helped. Even with months in between relapses, in the past, it's still helped on some level or to some degree. And one would think that this is a good thing, it not helping, but all it really makes me want to do is cut until it does.
Have you ever hit this point where it doesn't help?

I don't mean to come across as rude by any means of the word, but you have no idea what I've been through or the things that I have done or seen, so I'd appreciate you not tell me you've gone through worse than that.
That said, I do appreciate you taking the time to post. I do know things can get better. Things have for me in a lot of ways. I'm simply feeling extremely exhausted of everything lately. >-< And when I tend to be at my most overwhelmed is oftentimes when I have a hard time not giving in to the SH urges; I'm pretty good otherwise.
I think I just need to find a suitable alternative, but one that's reliable and works for me... What do you do when you start feeling insanely overwhelmed?

It's okay -hug- I think I'm just a little touchy at the moment. A book would be good... I know I have a book I recently re-started (I guess I lost it when I was right near the ending, lol, found it, months later, so am re-reading it from the beginning) so maybe I'll go read that.
