Do you ever want to hurt yourself but can’t tell anyone?

Question

I can’t tell my family because they will worry and think I am relapsing with self harm. I have a ton of people I know, but no true friends that I can tell. I just sit in my room while my family is watching a movie in the living room and hope to fall asleep before I give in to those urges.

Answer

I’ve been where you are. The only thing that keeps me from harming myself when I get in that mindset is the fact that it would devastate my husband. I get through it by thinking of harming myself as harming him and it helps get the urge under control. Also, I would definitely find someone to talk to when you do have these urges, accountability helps me so much
