[TW mentions of sh] just needing to get this out there ---------------------------------- I kept having a dream we will say nightmare of ending up in a psych ward every time getting more and more fucked and what I mean by that is I'd wake up fall back asleep and I dream would start over one dream I had visible fresh sh ( 2-3 years clean) the next time I was sneaking razors into the place and IRL like a week ago I was laying in bed trying to sleep couldn't My brain was like hey remember this thing and showed me the most graphic shut of sh I could have imagined I've been struggling with the thought of doing it for the past month and I'm scared of death to tell my therapist cuz I don't want to go to a psych ward and don't want to tell my husband because he'll tell me he would be disappointed in me but at the same time does nothing for me all at once apart of me is telling me to do it and how to hide it like the old days and other part of me is telling me not to do it because Summer is upon us and it's very hard to hide in the warm months

      Ok, so first things first, thank you for taking the time to be vulnerable. Secondly, I'd like for you to take a deep look at your support system. Your therapist and your husband should be a part of your support system. If you don't feel like you can trust them, then it's either an issue with yourself in trusting others or others' actions that have made you feel like you can't trust them. Also, from my understanding, you can't go to a ward based on only reoccurring nightmares. There has to be tangible proof that you are currently a danger to yourself/others. Your therapist should be helping you move through this. I think it's an important step in your journey to healing to be honest with yourself and others. Also, going to a ward or taking time off isn't a bad thing. It may be a nessicary thing. But that's honestly your case. My first time in a ward added to existing trauma. My second time helped. I'm still not great, but I am trying. I think you should tell the truth, at least to your therapist. Sometimes, when you have recurring dreams, it means you're stressed about something, and it's trying to come to fruition. I hope you can grow from this and please update on your progress is possible. Hope this helped.

It's important to reach out to your therapist and discuss these thoughts and feelings, as they are trained professionals who can help you navigate through this difficult time. Remember that their goal is to support you, not to force you into a situation you don't want. It's also crucial to communicate with your husband about your struggles, as he may be able to provide additional support. Try focusing on healthy coping mechanisms and consider discussing your concerns about hiding self-harm during the warmer months with your therapist.
