I know a lot of people on here miss cutting, and I'm missing it right now, so i'm just posting to say I wish I had a knife around, but all I got is a butter knife really
 I want to feel it again!!!! I don't care that people think it's wrong. My ex boyfriend (we just broke up earlier today) wants me to know what I want, well you know what? I want to cut! I want a good knife! I want that to be my expression of myself! That my dear, is what I want!

I know what you mean
I'm feeling the urge recently too, since I'm feeling bad about myself in various ways it's hard, because I for one always find it hard to come up with good reasons why I shouldn't cut - I suppose each person has his or her own individual reasons not to do it, really, but sometimes the urge is just stronger than any of various pathetic reasons not to do it...  Just try to keep holding out... for whatever reasons you can think of. mine, for the moment, is that I want to go swimming in a public pool and I don't want to expose fresh cuts to the germs there, even if they are covered with a waterproof plaster - I've found they don't really work... so that's my reason not to do it. Can you think of any good, definite reasons which you can use to prevent/ delay SI?

I actually put an arm band on my left arm so it gives me that second to think about what I'm doing before I do it. cuz I can't cut when I have it on, so I have to take it off and think about it.... |

I would hope that you could replace those thoughts with something to distract you... posting about how great it is imo, only helps to promote the idea, and may also trigger others into submitting to it?
I'm sorry you are struggling with this coping mechanism... keep fighting it, don't give in... try alternative ways of coping while you work on these issues in therapy. TC!

um... bc im scared of people thats why.... i dont want people telling me what THEY think of me. it's just another way to control society, that's all therapy is (not for all people but for me). it costs money that i dont have also. and i dont see the point. i overcame cutting on my own and havent really for a year. so yeah.... therapy would be useless to me i think.

What if you found a place that didn't cost money?
If you know what triggers your cutting, like depression or something similar (I don't know if you've ever been diagnosed with anything?), you can just talk about that and leave the cutting out of the conversation until you feel comfortable. Often, it's better to treat what's causing your self-injury, versus the attitude of "I have to stop cutting". |
