That may be what you need to do but what do you want to do that you haven't been doing in the past year or so?
Ideally, I want to be athletic again - cross country ski etc...But, I don't have that energy in me right now. It's harder to look at that bigger picture.
There you go..A girl after my own heart...But no, still paying off bills from a prior frivolous purchase.Shop!!!!
Now looking at travel for my 40th......(I'll let you know - St. Thomas, or St. Marteens.... )

No, I mean what do you want to do right now - something fun.
Sorry -I misunderstood. I don't know. It's hard to concentrate? Nothing is appealing right now. I don't mean to sound bleak, but nothing is really 'tempting'.

Then go to the next step: What used to be fun or entertaining for you?

For me, St. Thomas wins only because (1) they have Louis Vuitton shop, and (2) Megan's Bay beach. I tell ya, I'm not a beach bunny by any stretch of the word, but I totally fell in love with it when we were there last Feb. White sand, baby blue water.....oh man I miss that. The 3 or so hours we spent there were the highlight of the trip for me.

Hey glad you were able to distract yourself a bit. I hope sleep comes easy for you and the rest will help you feel better. Work day tomorrow so hopefully this will help you as well. Take care Jazzey I hope you enjoy your trip it sounds wonderful. Dream of all the nice beaches and places you will see.
I know I'm "too old" for this - but, it's just where I am right now...
Are "you" too old, Jazzey, or is the pain too old? There's a significant difference. I don't think we're ever too old to feel and respond to pain. But sometimes, when it feels like the pain will never go away, we feel like we should just "buck up" and move on. And that's what we try and do, without dealing with the pain, regardless of how old we are.
I hope you find some peace soon.
I'm glad to hear that.
Breaking those patterns of thoughts and behaviors that lead us to want to self-injure in the first place is the hardest part. Self-injury is a conditioned response. But changing that response can take alot of work, and most of it doesn't feel good. But...it's very worth it in the long run.
