Tonight I'm having a really rough time. I posted about what's going on in the Depression forum (I feel completely abandoned right now). I have the urges--getting stronger--and I'm trying really hard not to cut.

I've been a cutter for over 17 years now...I don't even remember the first time. I've romanticized my cutting (or at least that's what they keep telling me) and don't know if I ever wanna quit. It's just knowing I have that option always open...I feel safer that way.

I just want the urges to go away!

I am so sorry you are struggling tonight. The urges do lessen more and more over time. Hope you feel better soon.

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))) responded to your other post...

Breathe. Talk to me, how can I help? Send me a PM and scream at me if it helps any... or find something else to distract yourself?

Be safe.

Well I did make it through the night...it's just when I hit a depressive episode where I feel abandoned or hurt by someone else do I start to want to hurt myself.

I guess you could say my main trigger is other people or my relationship with them.

Thank you all for your support.

Know what I see? I see someone who has been STRONG FOR 24 DAYS! I see someone who didn't let the urges get 'em for 24 days. I see, because you came here, that you don't really and truly want to SI.

You're 24 days STRONG! Just take it one day at a time ... and if that doesn't work, take it minute by minute.

<font color="red"> LIFE IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT! </font>

Hang in there! <font color="purple"> YOU CAN DO IT! </font> You are 24 days STRONG and counting!

Awww...thanks. I've been really depressed for a few days now...and somehow I just keep on trucking! I'm just trying to keep my hands busy mostly...I know if I can do that then I'll be ok...even if I do have to get up and do something like cleaning...
