cant get the urges out of my head

[jaclax182b]

its been several days since i started wanting to cut again and no matter how much i try i cant get the thoughts out of my head... i just want to feel something else other than sadness... i want to feel the tears again


why wont the voices stop
why cant i silence the demons in my mind
the only thing that understands is that cold slicing my skin
i dont want to bring it back
but it seems the only way..

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having urges again I know they're really hard to ignore but you can ignore them if you try. It might take a while for you to find what works for you which is why I suggest checking out the Alternatives to Self Harm thread and seeing if any of those ideas work for you. I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the thread but I find stress balls to be wonderful and they work for me so that's something you could try.

Just remember, you've gone this long without self harming so you can go even longer if you just put your mind to it.

I haven't cut for months now and for the first few, i'm gonna be honest, it wasn't easy. Cutting was on my mind 24/7 but in the end, and a lot of willpower, i pushed it from my mind.
Since then, i've only had passing thoughts when i've had a particually bad day but i tried to forget by texting a friend or reading.
Anything to get your mind off it will hopefully do the trick.
Once you've started finding things to do, it will be like second nature
It might sound easy here, but you need to trust yourself.
I really hope you don't give into your desires. BE STONG! I know you can do it
