I REALLY feel like I need to cut. Like right now. I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't. I talked to my t about it this morning and we went over my safety plan. My coping skills aren't working. I don't know how to stop myself. I'm already feeling guilty that I will let you all down.

i feel sad that nobody responded to you last night. I hope you made it through the night without cutting. if you didnt, dont feel like you let people done. it is a challenge when that urge is there. you have to have a lot of different distrations lined up to keep you busy.

there was a book I bought called the scarred soul. you can get it on amazon for under 10 bucks. its a work book of sorts to understand si. read a chapter answr 8 or so questions. it was a nice book as in it wasn't threatening to do. it didn't ask you to quit which was a scary idea for me. I wasn't ready to do that. it doesn't ask you to do that till the end of the book. I quit doing the book at that chapter because I wasn't ready. but I didn't cut for over five years after doing the work in the book. then I only cut twice during a complete mental breakdown. it has been nearly 8 years now since then that I still haven't harmed myself so something about the book worked even though I never finished it.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will look for it on amazon.

Unfortunately I did it. I couldn't fight the urge anymore. Thank you so much for the kind responses. I'm going to hold onto this thread and read it the next time I get the urge. Your compassion really means a lot to me. These are things I can't discuss IRL.
