I want so badly to cut again. My T has told me that I can call or text her when I am feeling this way. I have already done that twice this week and I don't want to keep bothering her. I feel like just giving in

Your T would not have made the offer if she felt it was going to be a bother. Please utilize the resource. You also have PC which is great you turned to the boards when you had the urge. Sometimes taking the moment to contact someone when you feel like cutting is enough to interrupt the impulse. I have dealt with self injury and know how strong that impulse can be. I dont think i have self injured in a year now but i know i was thinking about it just a couple weeks ago. it seems the desire never goes away. it is something i have struggled with for twenty years now. there is a book called the scarred soul that i worked through that really helped me with understanding my need to self injure. it was very gentle, always working toward the goal of ending self injury but never telling you that you need to. i stopped working through it on the chapter that has you work on ending self injury because i wasnt ready for that but from what i learned from the book i was able to end self injury for many years. the biggest thing that works for me is distraction. i dont judge myself for wanting to self injure, i allow the thoughts to come and go, and when they are strong i just get myself involved in doing other things to distract myself from the thought of self injury. throw away the razor blades so i dont have access to the self injury tool. that way if i am going to cut i will have to go to the store and buy more making it more difficult to cut because i dont like leaving my home so i would really have to work to harm myself,give myself more time to talk myself out of it. there are also the support chats here on PC you could go talk to people about how you are feeling. Hang in there and reach out for help. there are people who care. |

I feel even worse now. It has been an awful night. My legs are acting up again, I probably wrecked my husband's laptop, and I just want to give up. Urges are awful right now and I can't call T right now
