Every time I cut I thought that I would be able to stop whenever I wanted. Once I tried to stop, though, I realized that I’ll never be able to escape the burning, desperate urge to harm my own body.

SAME. when I started, I was like, “oh I’ll just do this to help me cope until this shitty stuff is over.” now, I’ll be fine, even happy, and then the littlest thing will trigger me and cutting will be the only thing I can think about until I give in
Yeah. It’s really frustrating isn’t it? I feel trapped inside the monster that is me.
First of all: why do you cut ?
Secondly, you should try other methods, writing letters really helps me. When ever I get angry or frustrated or upset, in stead of grabbing a blade or a knife, I grap a pen and some paper. I write down everything that is pissing me off, upsetting me, and if it’s a person I write hateful things about them. Then I put it in an envelope, seal it and hide it. I do this so that I don’t cut and so I don’t screem the hatefully things in peoples faces. Because once the words are out there I can never take them back. And I know half the time I don’t meen any of it.
Or you could try pinging rubber bands on your wrists, holding ice cubes on your arm, drawing the cuts with a pen on your arm or drawing then on paper, if your a creative person you could paint, draw, sculpt, anything just put your focus into that instead of cutting.
There just a few ideas. I hope I could help
I cut because it helps me. When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I cut and it calms me down. There really is a release. I usually paint my nails when I get the urge to cut. Or I run. Running helps immensely. Lately, though, I haven’t been eating much or at all, so I feel really crappy when I run.
Yeaah I feel the same. And I run and workout alot, I put all of my anger into that. But apparently, I’ve gotten to skinny -_-
I’m always here if you want to chat x
I used to draw lines on my arms and snap rubber bands, but then I realized that isn’t much better because I still wanted to cut. especially the rubber band snapping, that’s still self-harm it just doesn’t draw blood. fighting it gets so tiring
