CrimsonHunter Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hello, I've been searching for a support group and hoping to find something here... I used to be part of a SI support group years ago when SI (specifically for me, cutting) when my battle with SI was the hardest. It consumed my life... I have been SI free for 3 years now... Almost had a relapse in response to a very hard break-up but made it through SI free. I have been in search of a support group because even though it's been that long, I have recently felt urges just as strong if not stronger when it was the worst for me. I believe it's in response to a recent diagnosis of a serious anxiety disorder that has been excalating each day. As the anxiety escalates, I am finding fewer and fewer ways to cope and SI has been creeping up in the back of my mind as a way I know would distract my mind long enough and comfort me for at least a part of my day. Battling this anxiety disorder has been very difficult and while I have been in therapy and will soon be on meds, it still eats away at me each day. Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and give a brief background for what brings me here. I hope to make some connections here soon! Thanks for your responses!
AnotherBrokenDoll Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hey, i also have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I unfortuneately had a doctor who didnt believe in meds except in exceptional cases or with a referal from a shrink - i never found a shrink i really liked. I have been SI free for about 3 months i think. Before that i had done it for over 5 years. You sound like an amazingly strong person. 3 years is fantastic! It gives me hope and motivation to keep fighting. Do you know how long until you can go on these meds? They might calm the urges that have been happening lately. Until then keep thinking about those 3 years. If you made it threes years you can make it the short time until you get those meds. Keep fighting!
Holly_061290 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hey, I've gone almost a year free and I'm also finding myself struggling so much right now its just all about staying strong, and finding something to keep your mind busy x
