Self-harm support thread v. 3

Oh kc, I'm so sorry to hear this hun :(
Please stop now, before it gets any further. You know how to resist the urges, you've done it before and you can beat this again. Please be strong. Find another way to release your emotions. I'm always here if you just want to talk. It pains me to know that you're doing this again, you're so loving and warm and kind and beautiful, you don't need to do this to yourself.
Please take care hun <3
 
Three days in a row now.

versd: I'm not actually blacking out; well, I did that first night sort of, but I was on 2c-e so it was more like I started doing it and then got consumed by the color running down the drain.


I'm really trying to break the habit. I honestly forgot how hard it is to stop once you start.
 
better :) I haven't cut since my last post. I've had some urges, but have been able to resist. I appreciate the love <3
 
Still going strong. No self harm since I got stitches months ago. :)
Maybe I had to learn my lesson...scare myself a bit.
 
^^ Unfortunately sometimes that's what it takes to get us to stop, i.e. a particularly nasty incident that just "crosses the line".
So good you're still staying strong PT <3
 
Doesn't mean I don't think about it when I'm feeling low or particularly worthless. The point is that I don't do it... I don't know how I can seeing that nasty scar and reminding me how bad it makes me feel, how messed up the head I was when I did it (I was on a binge...) and how much it hurt those around me.
 
^ That's like me and my suicide threats. I think being involuntarily sectioned in a psychiatric hospital for a week taught me to stop that kind of behaviour. Well, we'll see. :p
 
Been there done that sweet p.

I had bad dreams. My parents were together and they were miserable and made us miserable. All I remember other than that is feelings of depression, worthlessness, a desire to self-injure.

I've been taking my meds (or at least try to). I don't feel too bad most of the time, although my mood kinda sucks at the moment.
So why am I having these dreams?
 
Just spotted this thread, just to let you dudes know I used to cut althgough i been good for lik 2 years now, so if ya ever need a friendly ear im always around.
 
Recovered people supporting those who want to quit and maybe giving some advice always helps. TDS is good with that stuff. :)
 
So I revisited the cutting scene after about a year of not doing it (I rarely do it anymore). Wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped, the thought of being able to self-harm comforts me more than the act of actually doing it, I find. Still, sometimes it's all you can do to release the feelings of self-hatred and self-loathing..... To punish yourself for being such a defective, flawed person.....

*hugs to all*
 
^^ I remember doing that as well hun, after about 3 years' break from cutting, I did it again (this was about 5 years ago). And it was weird and dissatisfying. Very confusing.

Then things spiralled out of control about 2 years ago and it became habit again.

But it's been over 16 months for me without cutting now :)

But glitterbizkit, you are NOT defective. You are a special and unique person. Sure, we ALL have flaws but that's only natural. Embrace yourself for the wonderful person that you are <3

Maybe something happened in your every day life to remind your subconcious of when your parents were still together??


perfect haze welcome to the thread, so great to hear you don't cut anymore <3
 
gb, i can really relate to 'having the option there'. sometimes just knowing that you could cut if you wanted to, is enough to tide some of the emotions. and then making a conscious choice to not do it in the interests of moving forwards and being better can also be very rewarding.
 
Thats not true. How many posts where made JUST for you to ease you pain???
Is that not giving a shit? We cant' provide EVERYTHING you need ALL the time. True. But there are plenty of people and resources out there to help fill in the gaps.

People wouldn't be replying and posting here if they didn't care. But like Pillthrill said, we're definitely no substitute for a trained therapist. We don't have all the solutions... just support from people who've experienced (or continue to experience) similar shit.
 
Why do people cut? I sometimes shoot up water, and have often been tempted to cut myself. Its like some how I am expressing myself by cutting myself. Ive never had it in me to go through with, sept once when I was little but that was just for experimenting.
 
^ Anger, frustration, depression, etc. They're usually what causes me to cut.
