hey all.. first post and i'm just looking for help without having to go see someone to "talk to" which doesn't help.. or to get medded up for social anxiety or depression or any of the other "underlying issues" they may feed me because i have self injury issues.
I'm 22, married, and currently work as an EMT-b. i've been cutting since i was 15
<admin edit: please do not post details of methods or results of cutting: see forum rules at http://www.psychlinks.ca/phpbb/rules.php>
i think the progression came from having to deal with more stress than in earlier stages (financial, work, wife, future, basically.. adulthood =P)
<admin edit>
my wife knows i cut, and she is understanding of the situation, but me and her are both coming to our wits end... she thinks that she can't come at me with issues she feels we need to discuss because i will fade back into the SI, and that upsets me..
sometimes i have to force myself to have "busy hands" just so that i wont think about doing it... and sometimes, oddly, it feels like its not for a stress release or emotional control, but habitual. i honestly don't know where to go from here... and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
brandon
