Feeling lost (Help)
My longest cut out was 14 days, after that i have been relapsing every day and each time i do it i feel disgusted from myself. I have been addicted for 10 years, and i feel that i am losing myself and my spirit each day with it. Since i was young, i used to do it as a stress relief, and still with gym sessions, i keep getting the urge that i need to masturbate to relieve my stress. I have been trying to cut for two years now, and i am suffering, i feel thats it compulsive behavior, and i am ashamed to tell anybody about it or contact a professional therapist. Now i am in a level that i know its wrong, but i want to do it anyway, which makes me feel i wont leave this addiction. I tried to erase social media but it didn’t work. Please Advise me what to do ? I feel lost
But in order for therapy to work, you have to be totally honest. The first questions I asked my therapist was what her confidentiality policy was. In short, so long as I didn’t plan to hurt myself or another person, she keeps things to herself. Thats not to be confused with having thoughts of hurting yourself or others. Thats also doesn’t include things you’ve already done. And she also made it a point to tell me that if she did think she had to tell someone about something I’ve said, she would let me know before hand
