If you are having urges this means that you are trying to meet some need of yours. What need are you trying to meet with this coping mechanism of SI?

Sounds like an addiction to me, and that is comming from someone who is addicted...

Every time you have an urge or the feeling you want to do it try distracting yourself. You could go for a walk/jog/run, go on the computer, write in a journal, do homework (if your a student), bake, etc. If you need the feeling of pain, then hold an icecube really hard in your hand or put a rubber band on your wrist and pull it when you feel the urge to cut. Hope this helps!

I feel badly for you.
When the emotional pain is great and I have urges, I stop and ask myself : is engaging in this behaviour going to make me feel that I am moving towards emotional health (longterm)? Will my not engaging in it perhaps make me feel like I am that much more powerful? Take care. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
