Urges - July 26th 2011, 04:42 AM

Sometimes I get urges to cut, and do cut, for no reason at all. Like I'll be sitting at the computer or something and suddenly get the urge to cut, so I do. Is this a normal thing? I doesn't happen every day, maybe once or twice every week or two. Is this what it's like to lose control?

Sometimes I look at the cuts and want to tell my mom, just be like "Hey mom, I cut," but I could never do that. I know how she'd react. I want therapy even though I don't want to stop cutting, and I always feel weird for that. xP

I know what it's like to get random urges (it's hard to resist). Try this list of alternatives: http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...ves-self-harm/
Some of them are helpful.
Good luck, and PM me if you want to talk.

I get what you mean. But I've found it's normally always something there that's triggering me. Whether it be my wondering thoughts or the song I'm listening to. Try to think really hard about what could of triggered you and avoid it.


And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
And Hell followed with him.

I get those urges, too. I could be out with my family or in class and I'd think to myself, "I want to cut." It's obviously quite frustrating. However, it's part of who we are and we'll probably always have those urges. As long as we don't act upon them, we'll be fine.

PM me if you ever wanna talk.

Yeah, I remember once I was laying in bed, just trying to get to sleep, and I had the urge to cut so bad I was squirming. O.o

I always thought that they were random, until one day I started being a bit over-analytical and realized that they aren't so random. There might be some small thing that may seem insignificant when you first hear it, or see it.. but it could be what's triggering you. Maybe you make this subconscious link between some random thing and SH.

Hmm, it could be. Sometimes I do get triggered over the small, stupid things. xP
