It has been forever since i have cut..about 2 years i believe.. but sometimes i can't stop thinking about it.. like today i had this overwhelming feeling of depression and anger because of an disagreement with my wife.. i was laying in bed and wanted the feeling to be gone and all i could think of was the release that cutting would provide..

So pretty much you had issues with dealing with your feelings of pain. That's understandable. Just remember cutting is not a healthy way to deal with those feelings.

In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent.

It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.-William Styron |

Could you have continued to talk to your wife about it?

Yup... been there. Something that I've recently done is make a list of all the negatives that happened because of my self injury (specifics, not just upsetting others), negative moments that I remember when I really try and think about it, it's so easy just to focus on the good parts though. I wish I could tell you that those moments will go away, but I don't know. I haven't cut for six years now, and I still have many of those moments you described. I wish you the best of luck in hanging in there. Just gotta strain to make it through those really rough patches.

Im a reformed cutter and ive been struggling too. What ive found works is have specific activities i can do instead of cutting and not having my favorite razor blades in the house. Good luck. The more times i dont cut, the easier it is not too. If you do cut, dont beat yourself up over it. Dont give up. I slip sometimes. The important thing is to focus again on self love and self care rather than
Self harm. Hugs. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
