MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Jun 22 2012

Woke up today every few hours. Why do i keep having restless nights??? I went and seen my counselor  today "David Scar". I was so nervous to go, last i seen him was early may. I cancelledour second visit due to physical illness and didnt realize he had called me twice to rebook. I have a fear of answering the phone to numbers i am unsure of. I told him i had been so scared he would not want to see me again or that he would treat me different because of this mishap. He assured me unless i was missing for 6months in which they would come looking for me, that i was always welcome at their office if i needed them. -Big relief-  

 It was super hot out today, record breaking humidity. 46c/114f and the humidity was at 56% or something like that. So having to go out in that alone was nerve wrecking. I was scared 1. because i am an Agor Obviously and 2. i thought my apt was at 930am and i had missed it(i went at 230). so i was hoping it was at 230 and not 930, which luckily enough i was right it was at 230.

Discussed a bit about my cousin james, and how i have been since i last seen him. gave him a list of my phobia, my sleep schedule and a short list of times i lose time. He brought up my father a little bit and seen how upset it made me and knew where my missing puzzle piece stems from. said we would chip away at it eventually but for right now we will focus on getting to know me and how i run my life. I am proud of myself for going and opening up even if its just a little bit.

I have been having a lot of crazy thoughts these days. more often then not of harming myself. or Hurting others, and things like not deserving to live and wanting to die. even when i am the happiest of moods a voice inside my head tells me that i shouldnt be enjoying myself. I dont want to die i actually fear dieing alot. But i am forever thinking about it and i will litteraly fight with my own thoughts in my head and tell myself that i want to live and stop thinking this. Am i losing whats left of my mind?

 I havnt "cut" myself in just over a month go me! But i have been picking at the sides of all 10 of my fingers to the point they bleed. they look so embarrassingly ugly but i cant stop pulling the skin off it hurts so much but i keep doing it.

 I went out tonight again. walked to the park by my place its not to far. maybe the length of 3 average size driveways away. other then the mosquitos  that were swarming me i felt very calm.  mm thats all i can think of writing for now i am getting finger cramps :D

So proud of you for going to your therapy appointment! smilies/smiley.gif It sounds like your therapist is supportive! Keep going and don't be afraid to try other therapists if necessary. Definitely discuss these intrusive suicidal type thoughts with your therapist. You should be so proud of yourself!! smilies/smiley.gif smilies/cool.gif

Reading this diary entry is like reading about myself. The intrusive thoughts have a way of directing my actions so I have learned to journal them, to be mindful of them. The thoughts exist for a reason and I am willing to look at them without taking action.

Yes, I get it. For a person with PTSD, this is part of the struggle...the battle within ourselves.

You are doing well and it sounds as if you have a very good Pdoc
