It was the only thing I was good at and the only thing I had control of. I'm not allowed to do it anymore. Everyone watches me, checks up on me, deprives me of it and I need so much but they don't understand. When I cut, I felt like I had control. It was my thing. My special thing. Now it's not mine anymore. It's theirs. They took it and they made it into suicide attempts that never were. They twisted it and made it their own and now I've got nothing. I don't feel like I'm getting better. I just miss it.Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-7842072902043442102011-05-04T00:41:18.779-05:002011-05-04T00:41:18.779-05:00K - I went to your site and read your initial post...K - I went to your site and read your initial post. Can I just say that the treatment you received is not indicative of all therapists! Please don't give up on us because of that experience you had. I'm sorry to hear that it turned out like it did. You have to find someone that you click with and feel truly cares. I wish you the best with that if you are still searching.Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-79864030543963665532011-05-03T20:20:24.985-05:002011-05-03T20:20:24.985-05:00I think I fall under both A and D...I think I fall under both A and D...Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437700405910014095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-50741719943584556292011-04-29T17:50:27.841-05:002011-04-29T17:50:27.841-05:00I'd encourage you to talk with a local mental ...I'd encourage you to talk with a local mental health professional. it's not okay for her to make fun of you. It doesn't show a weakness of your character. It's a coping skill--albeit a harmful one--but you already know that. There are other coping mechanisms out there you might not even know about...but a local professional would. Give it a shot, and good luck.Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-89133228444350453842011-04-29T17:45:49.506-05:002011-04-29T17:45:49.506-05:00Ever since my mom found out about my cutting, she&...Ever since my mom found out about my cutting, she's just been making fun of me.<br />...which makes me do it more.<br />Now, I feel hopelessly trapped. :/PeaceLoveandSharpieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979073455287025971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-43459144496331442482011-04-26T20:42:29.511-05:002011-04-26T20:42:29.511-05:00What a sad reaction to internal pain.
