How are you feeling now?
A little bit nervous and paranoid. But otherwise I am okay. Thank you for being here.

I struggle with wanting to self harm, what works for me is opposite action. Instead of cutting or harming do something nice to yourself like massage your arm with soothing lotion. Also try dipping your head in ice cold water. It will help lower your heart rate and help you calm down.
I am glad you are feeling better.
Try to keep busy or distract yourself.

Thank you guys.
I’m feeling better now. Much better. I struggled with self-harm thoughts for a bit and I went to sleep. I woke up to the sweet fluff sleeping beside me, and he gave me kisses. That made me to assure myself that everything will be alright.
I’m hoping that I will not have another PTSD episode tonight because I tend to have a string of these episodes. I was shaking uncontrollably last night and everything was just telling me to self-harm. Not voices, but like the feelings were just pointing to self-harm. It was horrifying.
I didn’t harm myself. My head is hurting massively…it just reminds me of one of my psychotic episodes which I ended up the hospital, and was restrained due to how severe it was.

Just know that we are here for you. Try producing unharmful sensations. Like holding an ice cube. I don’t have PTSD myself, but someone close to me recommended this to help. How are you holding up?
