Hi everyone
I have a question. I don't usually talk about it but lately I feel like it's getting worse.
I've only known for about 2 years that have Asperger's. I have always had moments when I couldn't really control myself anymore and would break things, punch doors or walls or myself (never other people) but never in a way that I was actually hurt. Since I lived without knowing that I have Asperger's for almost 32 years, I have only recently realized that those are meltdowns. However, over the last couple of months I started to have the urge to hurt myself directly instead of by means of hitting hard objects. I never actually have, but I'm afraid I will. I'm not talking about life threatening injuries, but I still feel like it's a dangerous road to go down. So far by hurting myself i mean pinching myself really hard or pulling my hair. I sometimes think maybe cutting myself a little would make me feel better, but it's more in my head and I don't think I actually ever will. Has anyone experienced such urges and what did you do? I guess I'm just hoping that some of you have similar meltdowns and have some tips for me.
I am not at danger to kill myself!!!!!
Have a great day!
