What has changed for you recently that has made you decide to SI? do you have any idea what has pushed you to not supress the urge to cut like you have for the last few months? despite what happened, i would like to commend you on not doing it for over three months! that is a great accomplishment that no action can take away from you.

Please keep yourself safe, NO ONE wants you to get hurt. if distracting yourself helps please do it.... this site is good for that : )

a techique that my therapist taught me to help deal with negative/overwhelming emotions was to take deep breaths and just feel the feeling and allow myself to do that. also to remember that it is OKAY to feel any feeling and to know that they will pass and even bad feelings are not going to last forever.

I hope this helps! and thanks for "listening" to me ramble : )

Thanks for this!
