I think I need help

I think I need help. All I can think about is how to hurt myself. I lay awake at night thinking of new ways to make myself hurt. I know it is not normal. I know I should not even be thinking about this, but I dont know how to stop. When I hurt myself, the thoughts stop for a while, but then they come back until I do something else. I dont know how to ask for help. When I try, I cant get the words out. I am terrified of what my husband would think. I have everything to lose if anyone found out.

Hi CatCLC, we hope that you find a way to ask for the help that you are seeking.  We encourage you to use the forums again when it feels right for you. A lot of our community members will relate to your feelings especially around the struggle to find the right words and the fear around letting people around us know what is happening.
