After all these years

[J PTSD]

Still self injuring at age 44. I think this need to be focused on for ALL ages.

Re: after all these years

There is no doubt self injury can occur at almost any age, so appropriate treatment need to be sought out. Is this issue being addressed in your own therapy?

Yes. I have a therapist I see regularly. To clear up any confusion. I see a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist.
My decision to come here as of late is I'm tired of hiding. My anxiety physically is taking a toll on me.
I'm in email contacted with my psychotherapist regularly too.
I hope these boards will help me in my knowing I'm not alone.
Thanks.

I still struggle with it too and I'm around your age. It's a battle. I am hopeful that we can win it though.
