I went like a month without self harming. But guess what happened last night? Four cuts...

Do you understand what caused the urges?

I've just been so irritated and angry with myself and others lately, I need a way to express my anger, and I needed to do it quick. I couldn't think of any other way. I needed that immediate relief. And I know it's bad and unhealthy, but I've come to realize that I do not have very healthy ways of expressing my emotions, which need to stop.

So how can you express your feelings in a healthy way?

I don't know, journal or talk to someone I guess.

Those were exactly the things I was going to say. If you have anyone at all that you could talk to (I know you probably don't but maybe you should try to find one), then I think it would really help. Also, writing down how I feel usually helps me. So next time you feel the need to SI, please try journaling first, and good job going a month! That in itself means you're a strong person and you can do it again

I know I need to find someone, I just don't know who... And I will try, and hopefully I can do it again, so many times through out that month I thought about it....
