In my life right now, I haven't cut myself so far. I don't know whether that is something to be happy about?? Whenever I'm upset, I get an urge to cut myself. While I'm on my period, I get upset and I cry. I cut myself more often during my period as I'm so emotional. Does anyone have any advice on how I can control my urges and stop cutting?

Are you in therapy HC? Learning how to deal with your feelings in a healthy way would decrease your urges to SI.

I'm not at the moment. There was no point of posting this post because I keep going over this cutting issue.

I'm not sure. I would have to go to the doctor first and then be referred to therapy. I shouldn't get help. I don't have very bad depression. I'm happy most of the time but I do have my moments when I feel down. I'll try to stop cutting myself on my own. I shouldn't get help.

This ^ is something that needs help. Going to the doctor to get a referral is good self care.

I was afraid to go to the doctor too, but now I'm glad I did because I know it's a step further to things getting better. That first step was HARD, but now I've taken it i know they will help me. And if you do go to the doc then you will be another step closer too *hugs*
Thanks for this!

Hey, hey, hey. Don't push people away, hun. I do it to, but it never really helps and it often times just makes things worse. Sannah is just trying to help. PC is about support and respect, which sadly, many of us do not get in our real lives. This community wants to help you as best as we can, happycheeks! While only you can stop hurting yourself, we will be here if you want us.

I'm sorry. When I posted what I said I was in a bad mood. I'm fine now. I thank everyone for supporting me. I'm sorry for being so rude.
