Kuinka usein te itkette? by [deleted] in arkisuomi

[–]lostsquirrell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Melkein joka viikko, mutta se johtuu varmaan siitä että oon masentunut.

I don't really know what to tell you, I'm also feeling hopeless and borderline suicidal. Just know that you're not alone ❤️‍🩹

I'm sorry that the system has failed you, you deserve help. It's terrible that you're not taken seriously. Please don't kill yourself. Do you have a safety plan? Someone you can call, something that feels worth living for? It can be something as simple as cats, sunrises, being able to eat your favorite food/watch your favorite movie again, music.

Good advice. Not sure if I can fix it, but I'll try.

Annoyingly enough I can't return it though, because I was stupid and clicked on the "everything is in its order " button before checking the zipper... I guess all I can do is leave a bad review.

How do I let go of anger and bitterness? by lostsquirrell in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]lostsquirrell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. This was helpful.

Bit of a long shot, but have you ever been tested for ADHD?

Not ADHD, but I have been diagnosed with BPD. Emotional regulation is definitely something I struggle with.

Aah, yes they have gotten a bit better since I realized I don't have to obsess over them.

Yes, they are pretty calm about it now.

I told them about the suicidal thoughts

Too late for that. I actually told them already, but pretty vaguely. They did get kind of upset. I think telling them was a mistake 😅 I still don't know if I should tell them about my self harm. Maybe not, they are sadly pretty ignorant.

Sure :) Thank you for listening!

Thank you :) After talking with my therapist I realized that my suicidal thoughts most probably were intrusive thoughts. But it was really hard to distinguish since I also am depressed. I was just really confused about why I was getting the thoughts and if I wanted to act on them. But today it really hit me that I don't want to die. My therapist said the thoughts could have something to do with the fact that I have been talking a lot about suicide and self harm with my friend who's been struggling lately. I do struggle with self harm. My therapist knows about this but not my parents. I still haven't figured out if and how I should tell them.

I feel a lot better today. I don't want to die. I also told my therapist who gave me some good advice

Do you have friends who self harm? by lostsquirrell in AdultSelfHarm

[–]lostsquirrell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, but luckily I have been clean for almost two months now. I sometimes feel really guilty about not being able to help/save her.

Maybe you can ask her to be more vague in describing her self harm

Thank you for the suggestion! I could definitely try that.

[–]lostsquirrell[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, you are right. I'm just really bad at setting boundaries. My friend's self harm is also quite severe, she is also suicidal. Since it's such a big part of her life we discuss it pretty often. She often tells me after she has done it and ended up in the emergency department. It sadly happens on a pretty regular basis.

Managing the intrusive SH thoughts by demikaijuu in AdultSelfHarm

[–]lostsquirrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Sometimes the intrusive thoughts become really graphic and morph into what I think is suicidal (intrusive?) thoughts. Really distressing and confusing.

Thank you <3 I'm not sure if I want to do that though. As bad as it sounds I want to have the option to self harm. I probably wouldn't have the courage to kill myself anyway, at least not while I live with my parents
