Havent self harmed for over 16 months.
All i want to do it cut right now, i'm on lamictal for bipolar and my head all fuzzy and i dont know how i feel.
I'm going to be in a situation in 2 months, where i will have to wear a swimming costume so, thats stopping me do it, but it feels like an ache and a need within me and i just want it to go away.

First of all, good job making it 16 months without injuring! Sorry that you are having such strong urges right now. Stay strong. The emotions/thoughts will pass. Stay safe.

Stay strong. Sorry the urges are strong. You are stronger.

Take Good Care.

Having a good reason to not, helps a lot. Exercise helps when the urges are strong.
Good luck. and Stay Safe
