I was honest and called T this morning. Wanted to keep cutting but trying to resist.
She suggested the distraction of the rubberband... Trying it out. It gives a little release and a little distraction BUT>>>> I want to cut!!!

While the rubber is a proven therapy for many addictions / issues.... the human brain needs to be trained (or retrained) for 21 days to react to the stimuli for matters of the emotional mind to stick into the old head.... hang in there and it will work.

21 days huh?
Have gone less then one without cutting. But, 21 days...I am going to try. I still want to cut. It seems like it is the one release I have without actually taking all of me away. But, at the same time I know it is not what I want to do. Thanks Rhap, Lex and PL for supporting me.

Have you tried ice....
I hope the rubber band thing works for you. It never helped me much but ice worked well. IT's probably a bit different for everyone. Just hang in there. You can make it

Very interesting thought Rhap.
I am going to mull that over. It seems to be so clear and yet so vague for me all at the same time.

the rubberband,unfortunately, hasn't given me much relief when the urges are VERY strong, but has helped during times when I can feel myself just starting to thin about cutting. glad it's helping somewhat, with your urges

Yeah, rubber band isn't my savior.
I have decreased over the past few days. Remembering each time I begin to cut that it is like my abuser hurting me again. I guess it just takes time.
