I don't know how to cope -
July 31st 2011, 06:01 PM
I'm not sure what to do right now. I'm trying to stop self harming but it's week 3 and I'm really struggling. All I want to do is cut but I have a new job as a home care assistant and I have to tell my manager about any wounds because of infection control. I'm also taking my brother to legoland on tuesday so I can't cut. I really really want to though. I don't know what to do in order to stop myself from cutting. I desperately want to cut myself. I don't know what to do. someone help me, please?

Take deep breaths telling yourself no I won't self harm on every exhale of breath. Write down how you are feeling. Also write down what you want to do to yourself and tare it up into tiny pieces.
If possible surround yourself with people, text or call a friend. Go and do some excersise. Listen to some happy music. Stay strong. 3 weeks is an amazing acheivement. Keep fighting I am here if you need Liz X "Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." 2 Timothy 1:7 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2 PM/VM me anytime LIZ  |

I made it through the night without doing anything, but now it's a day later and I still want to cut. I don't know how much longer I can last. I feel awful. Last time I tried to stop cutting, I ended up relapsing really badly and had to have stitches. The doctor said if I had gone even a tiny bit deeper, I would have sliced through a vein and could have died. I want to do it again, only deeper this time. Shit, I just want to cut my whole freaking arm off! I feel so violent towards myself. I literally want to rip my skin off until there is nothing left of me.

Hey Ella,
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much at the moment  Well done on going through the night and going 3 weeks previously to this, that's a brilliant achievement. I know it's hard but I also know you CAN do this Liz has given you some good ideas. Other than that could you take yourself away from the place of your tools, that way if the urge does get too strong to resist, there's nothing you can do as you don't have anything to cut with? I really hope you can hold on as I wouldn't want to hear you've cut yourself deeper than last time and done yourself some serious damage! Many of us here care about you hun. Stay strong
