Was in control, but now im slipping

Hey, im 17 years old, male, and needless to say have kleptomania. (and my spelling is poor, so bear with me, thanks)

I was diagnosed at age 8 (hard time to be told as many people would think i was making excuses). amazingly enugh, for about 4-5 years I had the condistion more of less under control.
I'm sorry to say, with some strong issues in my life at the moment, I no longer feel I can fully feel that way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing much beter than when i was at my werst, but i'm now no longer at my best and at times I feel like I'm slipping back into a place where I'm not sure I can keep in control when I realy have to.

WildDragon, sorry I didn't get to this until now! Maybe it will help if you talk a bit about your issues here, what do you think?
Are you seeing a professional? Maybe you could keep something that reminds you of why you want to stop with you at all times, especially in places where you might feel tempted. Is there anything that helps or relaxes you, at least?

Thats okay.
well i'd like to talk about it, but im just not sure how to start.
No i'm not seeing a professional and i never have (other than the one who told me i had kleptomania). I just dont realy do well talking to counslers etc. about this.
i'v tried the idea of having a reminder on me, but it didn't turn out well. All it did was make me feel angry at myself after i stole. It was a small amulet on a chain. Eventualy I got so mad one time that i broke it off the chain and through it into the gutter (I also have a bit of a problem with anger after a while of things building up on me).
I have alot of ways to let go off anger after the caulse has gone, the problem is in the heat of things I find it almost imposable to calm down. The only person I know could calm me when i'm like that is my girlfriend, but she's not always around when i'm angry.
My stealing isn't always affected by my mood as it is (although i,m at a much higher risk when angry or upset), infact at times i can steal thing without noticing i'm doing it! That also is a problem with the idea of having somthing to remind me.

Treatment's probably the only way you will get better, though. Maybe you could find someone understanding and just take it one step at a time. It's sweet that your girlfriend calms you down.

tehe thanks (im sorry,i had to)

Hi there!

hey lol

I don't know. I got it more or less under control on my own befor. I'v already got more suport this time around than then.
And Treatment would mean my family becoming involved, and to be frank, that's just not going to hapen.

Would you have to tell them or is it because you're a minor?

Well im 17. other then the school counseler they would have to know. our school counceler is a good person, but he cant rele provide treatment.
