In the past I've always been to identify what triggers me into cutting. Lately though, it's almost as if this seemingly random toxicity takes over my body, runs through my veins, and makes me feel like SI is the only option to eradicate it.

Does any one else ever experience this?

If not, what triggers you?

I don't have specific triggers that bring the urges to the surface. It's the need to feel the cut, to see the scar, to see blood that drives my needs to cut often. It's like the only way i can process anything, it's the way i live, it's not triggered the way my anxiety is. Though there are times when it can be triggered.

Sorrt for the wording, my brain is in a muddle right now.

Sometimes triggers happen and we don't even know they are happening. Maybe that's it? But yes, I've definitely had that feeling before!

I get triggered when I think about certain things that I want because it makes me feel really ashamed.

My life right now is difficult my depression is out of control and the doctor cant do much due to my heart. My PTSD has been very bad so flashbacks and panic attacks are a trigger. My friends fighting is a trigger and im caught in the middle. If I feel I let someone down that is a trigger. I am sad and angry with myself all the time. I am afraid and feel alone

my therapist and I have been working on finding out what my triggers are.... sometimes they are obvious (being upset, overly tired, arguments). But other times I have to SH, but I can not tell you why.

I just say it is because I am nuts - but my shrink does not accept that. Personally, I think I just can not be fixed.

I do not know.

But I do wish you all the best. Gods blessings to you.
