Post here when you feel like cutting

[Soulwings]

It's going to be a struggle. At least for a long time. But each day that you make without cutting ... that's a step. Baby steps. But each one of them counts, and each one is significant, even though it doesn't feel like that at the time. You're growing stronger - the more you fight the stronger you become. Cutting is so difficult, and that's why you all are amazing and wonderful for trying so hard to stop. I admire each and every one of you who posts in this thread, whether you cut or not. It's the trying that counts, and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

Hi TN how are you doing?

I have not cut for a year or so now I think perhaps more!
And yet here I am,
I do not cut for anything else but the stillness after it.
So many thoughts running through my mind it was the only thing that would shut them all up at once

The alternatives do not work for me anymore....in a word BLAH

hey. I'm new here. Im a member here cuz i didnt find anywere else to talk to someone online about cutting..
I've been cutting for about 5years now and some months are better the others but now i've started again. And i hate it!
I dont want to cut cuz it's not a good thing hurting yourself. I don't do it because i want atention or anything, i want the pain and the blood so i now that its my arm hurting, not my soul.

What do you others do to keep yourselfs??

 

[texannurse]

I want to cut so badly right now. Why am I even trying to stop. I hear that in order to stop you have to be willing to live with the discomfort but I don't know if I am willing to do that anymore. All I want is to get rid of this pain and anger. Ineed to cut but I am scared to. I hate days like this.

There are ways to help but its more about what is right for you,
I have a box in it I put pictures of friends, things that remind me of the good times it could be anything !
There are things like popping bubble wrap to keep fingers busy, punching beds, putting HAPPY music on your mp3 player and singing even tho you dont want to. None of that evanesence !
making friendship bracelets just keep trying dont give up *hugs* you know where I am if you need to chat !

I am sorry you feel like this and may sound like a right hypocrite but the lull from the pain is just temporary
Thing of how much better you will feel when you beat it for good!
Yes there are bad days I have them too! please hold on !

hmm I noticed my posts dont show up stright away...hope you have beaten the urge!

 

[HolyOne87]

aw, im sorry to hear some of you are under painful times right now. I just feel like hugging you all and being there for you.
There are other ways to get rid of this pain. Maybe try taking up things to let out aggression. Like, for example, I might take up kickboxing just to get out aggression and pain. So I am taking my anger out on a punching bag not myself.
I also try and write my pain down..or go to my church(a nice, quiet place) and just calm myself and just sit before God and pray. Most of the time when I do that, I calm down because my church is usually empty at certain times(and thats when I go).
Or even listen to happy music(like Ember said). Sometimes that will lighten your mood and make you feel better.
Or play a game..sometimes I go online and play online games(but dont play anything that will aggrivate you).
I shall pray to God that God gets rid of your urges that you are having now and help you fight off the urges you have in the future.

+God Bless+

Always remember we are all in this together!

 

[texannurse]

The urge just won't go away. I want to do it so bad. Can I ever overcome this????

 

[Soulwings]

Tn. I understand. The urges are still very strong for me, and I wonder if they'll ever go away too. But you are being so strong in resisting them, and I'm so very proud of you - if that means anything, I don't know if it does. I am praying for you though. Take care of you, yeah? and PM me if you need. xxx

 

[texannurse]

Having a hard time today, the desire is very strong. Hoping I can make it through - I don't want 5 1/2 weeks to go down the drain.

 

[HolyOne87]

The urges sometimes dont. I still have some to this day. It is hard to not give in. Sometimes it is hard to turn the other cheek in this type of situation.
I have faith that you can fight off some of these urges..I will pray for you that you can.

+God Bless+
