Answers:
It depends on how YOU are feeling!. Do you feel like you're falling apart or do you feel like you're dealing with it quite well and that the situation is under control!. You would know!. Trust your gut instincts and if your instincts tell you to seek help, even if it is close to school's end, go get help!.
Also, identify, if you can, what triggered the episode!. You're in a program so, by now, you're aware that the reason why we cut could be because we are experiencing such turmoil and hurt inside of us that physically hurting ourself feels better than having to think about what is currently going on with us!.
My trigger was a feeling of rejection!. Whether I was actually rejected or not doesn't matter!. If I thought or felt rejection, it would make me want to cut!.
Remember that we cannot be the perfect patient always!. What's important is that when we realized we've slipped, as you have, we have the presence of mind and toughness of spirit to get right back on the path to recovery!.
It is tough, just get back on track and believe in yourself!. Know that you can get better and be free of this troublesome condition!.
Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As long as my SI is not bad!.!.!.life threatening or lots my treatment does not require hospitalization!. Maybe you would not have to be hospitalized if you gave a guarantee that this would not happen again!.!.!.!.or at least for your final week of school!. !.!.!.!.or maybe theyw ould hold off on hospitalization with some kind of daily reporting!. Is there a possibility of either of those!? Good luck!.!.!.!.

Hi!. I think you should tell them!. If you don't it's just going to lead you back to all the secrecy that comes with SI, which may in turn lead you to cut more, you wont even feel bad about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
