Hi Overxomer. I think you're talking about self-harm? I haven't done that, though I have had eating disorder stuff and that ends up harming myself. Anyway my depression and anxiety have been greatly alleviated by fluoxetine for a few years (quit for the sexual side effects after getting married) and now by venlafaxine. I think meds are useful to take the edge of the anxiety to the point where you can slow down and process in therapy. I love therapy. I wish you peace, hope, and strength.☮️
