Can SI be triggered by something else? At work the other day, I had to wear powered gloves. The powder was making me alergic and my hands started itching real bad. It triggered a panic attack and I got scared and was trying to breathe and started crying. I tried to settle down and pick up some ice then touch something hot to settel my nerves. The allergic reaction triggered a bad panic attack and the itching caused my arms to itch. I tried to scratch my arms really hard with my fingernails and it left marks. Finally I went into the freezer at work and tried to scrape my arm with a r***r but I turned the b** c****r too much and cut my arm accidently bad. I didn't feel it for awile. I later told my manager that I had a really bad allergic reaction to the powdered gloves. She was alittle shocked at the places on my arms, though. But can SI be triggered by something else like severe stress or allergies, panic attacks or depression or something like that.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

did you mean to cut your arm or was it an accident? SI can be triggered by many different things; it is different for every person. Stress, high emotions, no emotions, fear, anger, you name it, it will be a trigger for some person. PM me if you want to talk
