It's been almost a week. But all I can think about is cutting. Again. I don't know how to fight it. My head just wants to give in all the time. And I am tired of fighting it. It is so much effort. My head has been in such a bad place tonight. Has been filling my mind with dark thoughts. I just want them to stop.

There are many things that you can do in place of SH. Try melting ice in your hands, or snap a rubber band on your wrist. Read, write, draw? Anything but do not give in to your wants. I know how hard it is, but keep fighting.

Take 5 minute BRISK walk. Exercise can often help.

I managed to win yesterday, but the urges are still there today. If I can last today then it will be a week since I last cut...that's the longest it's been for a while. I'm just not sure that I can make it.

Well..there were two things. I spoke to someone about how I was feeling, he asked me to promise not to hurt myself and I hate breaking my promises to him. Eventually I also just got too tired to have the energy to do anything.

I'm sad for you!
You tried so hard! Did u feel better when u gave in? At least next time you KNOW you can get to six days - nearly seven - and u can save up yr energy/ people to talk to for day six! (I recently didn't drink alcohol for nearly five days (which for me is a big effort - I'm not as attached to self injury as I am to drinking!) and the whole nearly five days was really hard! Today is day three AGAIN and it's been a bit easier because I know I can do four at least!  I hope yr OK! |

Urges are back. They were there yeserday and still there today and getting stronger. But I made an agreement with someone not to cut today...finding it really difficult to stick to it
 I just need some kind of release....

There are heaps of lists online of things you can do instead...
One's like these... 210 things to do instead of cutting - @bnwranbo And lists above the SI threads here.... Not sure if they're useful! Keep posting! That's a distraction at least! (That's why I'm here right now. Also Very tempted ..... ) Good luck! |

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