I am feeling so angry and feeling not very good about myself, I feel I put my family through so much and how unfair this is to them.

I used to cut and have tried not to but yesterday I ended up cutting for the first time in a long while and I feel ashamed.Sad

Welcome gert. I too self injure as a form of anger. I suggest taking away the tools and possibly making a contract with someone for safety. Good luck and I'm sure you will be able to refrain from injuring.

My psych Dr. has been asking me for months to bring in my razor blades but I refuse as I feel this is my only form of control, how sad does that sound?

Thank you for responding back to me, feeling just sad and alone right nowSad

Feeling angry is not a good feeling at all, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I'm sure your family loves you. Are you on medications so you can become stable? I sure hope so. Life is a lot better with them. Try to be kind to yourself. Some things are beyond your control. I'm not a cutter, but I'm sorry that you ended up doing it. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's done and over with. Try to make a plan for when these feelings come over you to get help. I agree to take away the tools. We are here to support you. We care. Welcome to the group!

I am on a lot of medication and as of Dec my mental health team providers declared me bipoalr treatment resistant and suggested ECT, I have not shared this with many people but this seems the place to feel supported and the place to be able to open up.

sorry you are having a hard time right now. I have the same issues-although I have been much better lately. It is good you are connecting with people here. i think there is a group too for self harm. I think i am even a member amoung many other groups. It is good to have some people you can vent to who understand-it will relieve some of your anger and urge to self harm. Writing in my diary on here helps and having a few people i can pm(personal message) when things are tough really helps. Hope you feel better soon. I have put people i my life through sooo much too-all i can do is take care of myself and try and do better. we have an illness were are not bad people. when i feel i have hurt others now-i try to talk to them about things when i feel better and usually they understand. hugs to you
