I'm so troubled with my thoughts n feelings I had night terrors again last night but didn't deal well with them. I self injured. Now I can't get the thoughts and ideas to self injure more out of my head. Once I do it it makes it that much harder to not keep doing it.

I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time of things. Do you see a therapist and do they know you self harm? Do you have any strategies that help dissuade you from self harming?

I'm currently without a therapist. I was doing so well. I'm in the process of getting a new one though. The only that dissuades me from injuring is being around people, I would never hurt myself in front of someone. Unfortunately I live alone.
I'm glad you're looking for a new one. Maybe they can work with you on a protocol to follow before you get to the self-harming stage.

Before we do that I have to work with them on stopping injuring again.

I'm new to this, could u explain how chat works?
I thought we were talking about self-harm here. Not the chat function.
If it's someone you haven't messaged before, it's polite to ask first if they're okay chatting. 🦜
Thanks, nbp. This drastic turn in conversation caused my radar to shoot up. How does one go from talking about something as serious as self-harm to something as lighthearted as how to chat with someone? (Rhetorical question). Red flag.

Maybe. We'll see.
If you click on someone's name you are given an option to "start chat"
How are you doing so far tonight. I'm concerned about what's going on.
