All I have going on around and around in my head is that I need to cut and it needs to be deeper each time. I'm feeling really anxious tonight and scared of what might happen to me tonight.

That's it the kids dad is out who i live with . I have a health visitor who said I can text her anytime but I know she has gone out today so I don't want to disturb her. I just really want to cut deeply. It's the feeling I get from it is what I'm craving right now and seeing blood is the best

Instead of cutting, can you draw on yourself with a (red) marker? My SI method of choice is to
Possible trigger:
and sometimes it helps to write those words in the place I'd otherwise carve them. I know drawing cuts has helped other people, too.

Is there anything you can do to get away from the knives? Take a walk, go see a movie, go to the library.. or get the knives away from you. You could put them in a box and wrap duct tape all around it.

I'm going to bed, so I won't be replying anymore today. I hope you can hold on.

Hello Northern88.
I know I don't know you but I used to live in Leeds. And SH. I lived in Headingley, which was a great place to be in the 80s. I know, I'm old. SH is so hard for people to understand. Bread fish gave some good advice, drawing helped me too. It's been many years now since I did that. I just wanted you to know that there are people out here who care about you. Please take care of yourself. And talk to someone tomorrow morning.
Good night xx

Hello Northern88

I'm in Yorkshire too! I have just got my SH back in control and managed three weeks without anything. I'm sure you can get there too.

PM me if you want to talk.

Remember you can always go to A&E if you think you can't keep safe until your assessment.

Just tell people what you are comfortable with. When you have your assessment the staff will ask about self harm if you can't find the words show them the cuts- that's what I did. If it was your GP who referred you then they will already know something. As you have a child they will have to ask some questions about safety, they aren't trying to put you in hospital just to make sure you all stay safe. Not turning up will make things harder so please try to go, even if you go and then don't say much.
Thanks for this!

I'm so sorry your head seems to be arguing endlessly with itself. That's a feeling I'm all too familiar with. Stay strong, friend. Like the others here, I do recommend you see someone about this. It's ok to need help, and it's ok to be vulnerable.
