I haven't cut in 40 days but suddenly for no reason I have an urge to and I'm just looking for some one to help me out. Talk to me, anything. I just need something. The thought of it is making me sick.

I contacted crisischat.org when the feelings to SI became too much.

Generally, I try to distract myself with music, facebook, sleeping, showering (just no shaving), or calling up a friend and just talking about normal things (i.e. not mentioning SI). Taking a nice drive also helps me. Good luck!! 40 days is a big accomplishment!
Thanks for this!

Thank you. That's so very helpful. I just turned on some music and hopefully it'll go away.

Yeah, it took me a long time to get through to them...but the focus on getting through to someone did, in a way, distract me from SI. I told my t about contacting them and believe me, I definitely mentioned how angry I was it was so hard to get through. Keep trying! (I got through around 4:30 pm, 1:30 am - 2:30 am just was never available. I guess everyone was struggling at the same time!)

You could always call the number too though, they're 24/7 and probably more readily available. I just don't do phone conversations (not even that often socially).

Gotcha. I'm sorry to hear that. I worked really hard to get through, but perhaps you could try some of the other suggestions in the mean time while waiting? I know there is another crisis line available 2pm - 2 am but I could never get through (said not online). I do hope you start feeling better soon! I know how hard it is, I literally just went through similar urges.

You don't have to be sorry for the way you feel. I just hope however it all works out that you feel better soon...
