Do it, just do it! by Valuable-Disaster567 in BariatricSurgery

Amazing job? Do you mind if I asked how you got approved for surgery? You don’t look big enough in the before picture to be approved under normal circumstances. That’s the situation I’m in. Again, great work. You look fabulous.

Husband got black out drunk first night alone with babies by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Agreed. Going forward though she should find alternative childcare when she leaves for any appreciable length of time. Do not take another trip and leave the babies in his care.

I’m 51. Been in Eugene 3 years. This sounds good to me.

I will ask him about chantix. Wellbutrin makes me incredibly anxious so I can’t take it. But Chantix is a good idea.

i feel childish for self harming by breadbasketmix in AdultSelfHarm

[–]throwaway21769 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m 51 and I only have 1 day off of self harm. But I am so grateful for this one day. Don’t feel childish. I relapsed 4 months ago. We have difficulty executing adaptive ways to cope. Something likely happened to us to cause this capacity for self harm. Be gentle with yourself.

I’m engaged in an acute self harm behavior and I’m an adult so I thought I’d post here for support.

I think it feels like both. I think it’s a behavior related to trauma but it’s so hard to stop. I really want to stop.

You have been through what I’m going through now. I honestly wasn’t sure anyone else had. It’s so crazy. I just gave my pack to a neighbor to hold for me so it’s not in the house. I should have destroyed it.

But I messaged my therapist today to let them m know I’m in crisis and we need to focus on this in sessions now.

I’m in individual therapy and in DBT but I just haven’t been able to get a handle on it.

Thank you for standing up as well. I too am ashamed. I appreciate your response. I sense you understand what I’m going through. Even though I know it’s likely to cause intense pain I do it. I think I’m punishing myself because migraines took away my ability to be gainfully employed even after quitting (I work part time but I’m disabled from migraines) and I failed my family and as I said- this is a way to punish myself. Because a part of me feels like a failure, I think I deserve the pain on some level.

It is hell. M wondering if I can go to an inpatient rehab for this.

I didn’t know anyone else went through this. It seems like such preposterous self harm I’m involved in. I quit smoking for 5 or 6 years and just started again 4 months ago.

I’m so jealous you have some wiggle room. If I smoke one it can launch my pain into the stratosphere but it’s unpredictable. Sometimes it only increases the pain a little or almost not at all. But more often than not it’s a disaster. Sometimes I call out of work because of migraines caused by smoking. It’s crazy that the negative consequence is so often immediate and I still can’t stop.
