I fought the urge to self harm to relief my emotional pain.

It's great you are fighting the urges @Buffy01. I'm in the same boat. I'm fighting urges. Hanging on by white-knuckling it really, but hanging on. I hope you can keep going with not SH-ing. You can do it! HUGS kit

Hey Buddy01,


I hope you are feeling better since posting. Are you finding that you are better able to resist the urges now compared to when you first posted?

Please be gentle to yourself.


Thanks,
HD7970ghz

Yes! I am feeling better since I last posted. I feel better finding other who are going through this as well who I can talk to about self harm.
Thanks for this!

I admitted to my T on Thursday that I have SI twice. I felt so bad. While I at times feel that I am coping okay, I continue to do things that I havent done in years. Grieving a childhood, and feeling so damn bored and lonely. I literally have no one. I don't count family, 2 kids can't be friends to me, and my T isnt obviously. They are it. And i hate it. That makes me want to go do something....but I am not

I started thinking about self-harming again because I have been triggered by some family member and watching celebrities have the lifestyle, I wished that I had. But I managed to fight the urge.

Have you ever tried writing down your feelings as an alternative to self harm?
