Today I'm generally having an okay day. I feel more stable than I have in a long time. So why do I have such a strong urge to cut? It doesn't make sense to me. I can usually identify the trigger for my desire to self-harm. Right now is just a blank....why do I want to do it so much?

I have experienced the same thing, Can't_Stop_Crying. I'm not totally sure (as I am about most things...) but I think it's because if anything at all is going the slightest bit wrong, that's what you (and I) turn to. Another thing that I've found is that sometimes, happiness (or even just feeling "okay") scares us. It's outside our comfort zone because we've felt awful for so long.
I'm no professional anything, and I don't know much, but that's been my experience. When I sit down after that happens and just sit and think, that's about all I can come up with. Hope this helps, even if only a little.

It is an addiction. (But one that can be overcome). And I am so glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better!!!!!!!!!!
