It's been thirteen days since I've self harmed and I want to so badly, but I also don't want to. It just hurts so much inside. I want to curl up and sleep the pain away, but that never works. What do I do with all this pain?

There is a sticky note up at the top of the forum which has some things to do instead of SI. Maybe you can find some ideas there. Sometimes even reaching out for support, both here and IRL, can help relieve some of the pain. I am sorry you are feeling so bad.

I know how you feel and I'm sorry you are going through all of this. Like bear mentioned check the sticky note thing. There are a lot of good ideas up there. Also, try to remember it does get easier. And keep in mind that none of the replacment methods give the same release that cutting does. Sometimes people try them thinking they work just as good as cutting does... they don't.. but they do help you lessen the pain and give some release so that the cravings are bearable. When possible, and cravings are really bad, I would also suggest trying to be around people that you won't do it in front of.

I wish you the best of luck
