I want so much to cut tonight. I have tried a bunch of stuff to calm down the urges but its not working. I want to feel something...anything other than this horribly disconnected feeling

I hope you're feeling better today Nicole ~ and that you didn't cut. I know the feeling of "disconnection."
Do you have a therapist? If not, can you get one? You REALLY need to talk to someone about this. Your therapist can help you with coping strategies when this happens again ~ please don't hurt yourself!!  I don't know your age - if you're in school, talk with your school counselor ~ he/she can help you. Don't try to handle this alone. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

hi there, I don't know if this helps you in any way but the first reason I cut ever was he disconnected feeling.
It doesn't help in the long run. Disconnected feelings mean there's a LOT more going on under the surface. Are you working with a therapist at all? Has there been any extra stress in your life? take care of yourself

I've felt that way and I know perfectly well that it's a very uncomfortable feeling. I'm sorry you're going through it. Cutting might bring a temporary relief but as turquoisesea said, it doesn't help in the long run. Please fight the urge. The internal battle itself helps me sometimes. It makes me feel something.
Take care

Maybe if you talk more it will help you to reconnect with your feelings? (Or maybe you don't want to reconnect to your feelings?)

I suck. I cut again last night. I hate that I resort to cutting. I have no willpower, can't talk to family or the one friend I have. My friend doesn't know how bad my depression is and I can't tell her at this point because it's a relatively new friendship

What is your therapist doing to help you?

Hi. I know I'm just new here but, I totally get it. I started cutting almost 7 years ago (I'm 2 today), and I was "sober" until tonite...hadn't done it for 3 years, which surprised me as well as the few people who even knew I did it. It IS possible to fight the urges, you just need to realize what's worth fighting for...unfortunately, I lost that thought tonight. But I'll get it back, and you WILL find yours. Be strong.

That would be stressful. Is this triggering for you?
