I have gone cut-free since October 2008. In the last week or so, however, I'm so...stressed out, f***ed up, overwhelmed, whatever that I've gotten the urge to cut (or worse...) several times. Each time it gets stronger. I keep myself distracted each time but...I can't do it forever. I'm not new to SI at all (have done it for 5+ years), so I really don't know what I'm hoping to accomplish by posting here. Just figured it couldn't hurt...idk.

I know the more I talk (or post) about SI, the less I do it.
And we both know that SI might seem to help in the short term, but in the long term it will only make things worse. You have gone for a year and a half with out SI, I have gone 6 days, and i don't want eithe of us to have to start over. Please don't do it, I can't make any promises, but your strenght will help give me strength.

Does your therapist know? Do these urges have anything to do with your brother moving back in?

I agree with Mike. I've been feeling the usual growing urge and since you're gonna try not to, maybe I'll try not to. I keep looking at this nice part of my body, and the wounds are kinda healed up right now. okay, yeah, that's a trigger (afraid i'm going 'soft' or something weird like that) on the other hand...i'm trying to figure out if these scars will fade by summer-clothes time...and if I keep at it, ain't no way i'll be comfortable this summer.
But im also kind of resisting right now b/c my H is being a pain and i know something's gonna happen this weekend to get him all bent out of shape. But he won't listen to me, as usual, and i'll get upset as usual, and he'll say i'm a dramaqueen, as usual, then i'll need to get rid of the emotional rollercoaster, as usual. Ugh I didn't mean for all that to come out. But I just wanted to say, I know how you're feeling, and hang in there...maybe none of us will do any kind of SI this wekend.....

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