Triggering (SH): Why shouldn't I cave?

[~CourageousSurvivor~]

So I have been having this terrible urge to cut all day. It has been 6 months since my last relapse...if you follow my blog you would probably know all about that and all about my urges today. I am trying not to. Doing all I can but I am growing restless. Just don't know why I shouldn't Self Harm when I know it will make it feel better. Know it won't solve anything but it will clear things up. I don't need things to be solved I just need a little bit of a clearer perspective and journaling and all of that is not helping.

What would it hurt? I am not cutting every single day like I once did. I am cutting once every six months, that is not bad at all. I can deal with that. I can go without stitches...I just want to carve UGLY, UNLOVABLE and SHAME into my body.

Yeah I don't know; can't see any reason why I shouldn't...

Because you're stronger than that. You've gone six months without doing it and that is a massive achievement which you should be proud of. You can say that it'll be just this once but then that'll probably lead to another and another and eventually, you might just slip back into it again. You may feel like it'll make things better and give you a clearer perspective on things but will it really do that and is there another way you can get that without hurting yourself?

If you need someone to talk to, my PM box is always open.

Your so much stronger. 6 months is a long time and I belive that you can go longer. Stay positive and try other ways to cope. Write your feelings down or read a book to relax. You are so strong. PM me anytime you need it!

You are stronger than self-harm and six months free is the proof. You should be proud of yourself for making it as far as you have. Don't you want to make it ANOTHER six months to make it one whole year? Wouldn't that be an amazing accomplishment? I think it would. I honestly wish I was as strong as you are and can go six whole months without it. You are amazing. Keep on pushing through. Look at the alternatives. Relax. Use the butterfly method. You can get through this. If you need someone to talk to, my PM box is also open. Never hesitate to shoot me a message. I hope you're okay. <3

Because its addictive. You might stop. You might keep cutting. You can't say that you will stop for sure if you start again. Its like an alcoholic saying he will stop drinking tommorow. Maybe he will. He probably won't. Maybe you will stop. Maybe you wont. I keep telling myself I will but so far that hasnt happened. Good Luck
