I haven't cut in about a week, put my blades out of sight...out of sight, out of mind sometimes. But nope, not today. I know exactly where they are, and I want to use them. But my father is fixing our bathroom, where I stash them and where I cut, so it's not as accessible. Trying to sit outside and calm down...hoping it'll work and later I'll forget that I wanted to cut today.

Amy, sorry you are feeling tempted but you have managed to stop for a week. You don't have to give in. Some people find that if they are on meds that can help or they can get temporary relief at the pharmacy. What options are you considering for therapy (meds or talk)?

When I read this article it gave me ideas how to cope with the temptation to self harm.

Thank you for that article...actually took time and read it. I did give in tonight. Just so upset and defeated today. My kids told me that I'm the worst mom ever, and usually it doesn't bother me, but I feel like I am today. I'm in therapy, my T's are on break until the end of the month. Not on meds because I'm breastfeeding, and couldn't find a med that would be okay and that I haven't had problems with in the past. I made a post in the Psychotherapy thread tonight too, that might help explain today's upset.
