I struggled with cutting for two years and only recently have I started to forget about harming myself and trying to get on with my life. Athough now everytime I hear something that relates to self harm I have the urge to do it again.
I'm the same way, although the more time that passes, the less the urge comes up. Now it's more of a fleeting thought. It's been about 3 years for me.
I quick and easy way to get rid of your urges is to drink one gallon of bleach. You will never get the urge to cut.
I struggled with self injury for a very long time. It actually started when I was a little kid. I would pull my hair out and punch myself in the head when I would get upset. I started cutting when I was 16. It felt so damn good to release all those negative feelings I was bottling up inside. I have not cut myself in 6 years now, but I still get strong urges to do it when I see or hear about it. I wish these urges would just go away!
I think you should pray or something, its strange that this happens...distract yourself with sport or something. Why do you do this?
I'm just intrigued thanks
It is so very normal. I have a hard time fighting the urge when I am feeling a little down. The best thing I can do is put a rubberband around my wrist and snap it a couple of times. This gives a similar sensation, without the physical act of cutting. Good luck, but it is a life long struggle. I haven't cut for about 6 years and still have urges.
Yes it's normal! I struggle with cutting and when something triggers me to want to do it again I do! I have gone months without but then little things trigger me to do it again
I have in the past but it didnt didnt satisfy the reason I was doing it.
It's been about 4 years since I last harmed now but I'm the same, even hearing about can bring back the desire/sensation.
will b a yr for me april 19, 2011 since last time. no urges anymore, for now anyway, but then again i compensate for it in other destructive ways that i dont care to go into here. but for me its a reminder to make sure some of the more obvious scars r covered when i hear someone talks about it.ppl who do know say i should b proud of them, they remind me of how i made it to hell and back. i dunno, im just sharing w the group.
....As I can see text speaking has gotten to you at a young age and stayed with you.
I guess I got caught up in the moment and wanted to write some things down w/o losing my train of thot, hence the txt speaking. Had more important things going on in my mind at the time of writing my post than to please an immature, insensitive, prepubescent lil prick like u w how I write.
