okay, so i don't come to this part of the forum THAT often just because it does trigger me. but ive been going crazy recently. its like SI is taking over my life. its all i can think about when im upset, and the thought doesnt go away till i do something about it. and now whenever im sitting in class or just looking around, i look at other peoples wrists and arms and see if they have cuts, i dunno why i do that. its just like cutting is everyyywhereee. and when i see that people dont have any marks on them....im like why do i do this? why cant i stop? i just dont get it. its frustrating. alright, enough of my ranting

I'm sorry you're struggling right now. We start SI/cutting for "good" reasons. We want to cope with life, and this seems to make the most sense. Then it takes over us... because it IS an addiction and it's hard to just "stop"!

SI is for a reason. You're under a lot of stress, something else is making you need to cope somehow... and this is how you learned to deal with life... I'm sorry that it is that way.

Ranting is good, because it's another , different way to get out what you're feeling.

SI DOES give temporary relief from a situation, but it causes more issues later x.x x.x x.x

Try your very best to reduce the SI'ing, go out with friends when you start to feel triggered, anything... try to find other ways of dealing with tough situation.
I know this didn't help much. But, sending hugs, and knowing you can work it ou, given time. Please be willing to give yourself that needed time
