:( So, I've been having a tough couple of days (as some of you know) as a result I've been cutting a bit and I'm already back to the point where I cut on compulsion... such as tonight where nothing is specifically going wrong I just have this anxiety/ tightening feeling and the only way to get rid of it is cutting *sigh* just need some encouragement

Sorry to hear you're struggling these past few days. I wish I had some magic words for you to take your sadness away. Please don't be too hard on yourself for the cutting. Make any change in the way we deal with stress is a difficult process, we're bound to stumble now and then. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Chelle

Hugs Jondy.. you can only try your best. Is there anything that you like to do? do that, or do something for you. For some people squeezing icecubes helps.... you could try that... Just keep on trying not to do it.... I know how hard it is... but I believe in you:)

I don't have any experience in cutting. My son has done that a few times but stopped..thank the lord.

Others on here do and might help more than I. I would try to do something you like to do maybe. Read, walk, hobbies ect.... I saw some good suggestions on here about squeezing a ice cube. hope you feel better soon!!

I'm so sorry your going thru such a rough time.

if i say something funny, does that help?

I went into Mama bear mode jumped on the back of the German Shepard all 100 pounds of me and wrestled with a German Shepard that weighs more than me. When I jumped on him like a horses back.
