I couldn't hold the urge anymore. It became stronger than me. Seven cuts from yesterday and counting, I just can't stop. This is hell.

Is there something else you can use to help you cope?

In past years I've tried many ways of coping, the one that works the most is sport, but even that isn't 100% effective. I was always getting SI and SUI thoughts and urges, I was fighting it too long, I'm tired to fight it now. I've found out SI is the only thing that truly works. Or at least for a few hours.

I have heard that holding an ice cube in your hand works, if you hold it tightly. I haven't tried this, but apparently it gives the same release that you experience from cutting. I hope that this may help you.

To add to that, snapping a rubber band against your skin can help.

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