It just so happens that all week at work, I've been this powerhouse of efficiency, Friday especially. Then, Friday evening, I cratered and I hated myself. I hated me so badly that "someone" shredded 3 manuscripts. darn. (my T has the digital copies - whew). But, my point is I didn't know that the high functioning times can be denial, so this gives me a focal point for my session tomorrow. Thanks! I’m glad I came back to re-read this post.

Please see the words surrounding the ones you chose. If compartmentalizing which leads to high functioning also increases the self-harming (of the dangerous risking life kind), then it cannot be okay. I agree with LostShadowChild and Kate. This is a potential vortex you find yourself in which cannot be underestimated. There are a lot of drivers which can easily make the situation get completely out of hand. It took me many years to get the self-harm under some sort of control. I do think that if it starts back up with the frequency of the past with all the surrounding coping and denial I was used to, that it could set me back many years (i.e., take me again a long time, perhaps years, to get it under control). My comments were only meant to acknowledge the severity of the situation you find yourself in, and provide some validation for you about the life-threatening self-harm based on where I've been. Safe hugs to you... (((())))) if okay, of course. I am sorry you viewed my remarks as arrogant, Michael. Please see the words surrounding the ones you chose.

I know I'm projecting my issues; but it's also about privacy, as my self-injury is not something that I'm proud of or want to share with anyone. I agree with your view of what a worthy goal is, I just need to work on a way of getting there.

I'm assuming that I am in denial, but it's never felt this complete or certain before. Usually when there is denial, there is still a sense of the other dissociative parts, but not this time. I'm still now 100% sure about the ACC sessions. Liz is still trying to answer their questions about my progress. I know that some of what I'm currently experiencing could be put down to cutting off everything in case the funding doesn't come through.

Something to hold onto as a hope :) In theory it sounds possible, but in reality it feels very out of reach. Something to hold onto as a hope :)

I'm also a lot more focused, so it's good in that way. But I'm not sure how it fits with the SI, I have a feeling that if I keep up the high-functioning then the SI will gain momentum as there is nothing to keep it in check. But I'm not really aware of caring about that. It's all rather confusing... Take care, CG Hi Kerro :)

I know that it is quite possibly dangerous because I don't get an appropriate sense of what is dangerous and what isn't, so I can identify with your statement about not making a huge change that could impact on healing. It's interesting what you say about not being able to do healing and work together well. I'm wondering if that is what I've experienced up until now and there has been a huge shift to try and sort out one area of my life. I'm not sure. Thank you for your comments, they've made me think.
