I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE...I FEEL MYSELF LETTING GO TO ALL RATIONAL AND I WANNA DIE...I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO. I THOUGHT I GOT OVER THIS BUT I GUESS SOME THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T OUTRUN. I HAVE THIS OVERWHELIMING URGE TO CUT RIGHT NOW. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS URGE FOR LIKE DAYS AND I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN FIGHT IT ANYMORE. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO DO IT. I NEED TO DO IT SO BAD THAT I AM PHYSICALLY HURTING FROM THE NEED. I KNOW I SHOULDN'T. I KNOW THAT IT WILL MESS UP ALL PROGRESS I HAVE MADE. I HAVEN'T CUT SINCE NEW YEARS EVE AND I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY. I JUST DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO STOP MYSELF THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK TOO LONG AND MY OLD HABITS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE FORWARD AND I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE...DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE THAT? LIKE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN BODY? LIKE YOUR MIND IS TELLING YOU NOT TO DO SOMETHING BUT YOUR BODY, PHYSICALLY, WON'T STOP? THATS HOW I FEEL NOW...I NEED SOME HELP...I DON'T WANT TO SLIP...

I don't know what it feels like to want to cut but I have a friend who does and I know it's a very real thing.

You have done so good, please try to hang in there and don't give in. Maybe you could watch some comedy or something to distract you. One thing I know about urges is if you hang in there long enough it will pass.

*Big Hugs To You!*

I've cut before; usually, something triggered it. What's going on?

Hey, I see you're a single mother? Are you suffering from Post Natal Depression? I have this too and know how difficult it can be to cope especially with a child. Please don't slip. I have moments when I want to walk away from it all, get on a plane and leave it all behind but I look at a picture of my son and it gets me through the hard times. I tell myself how much he needs me and loves me and how much I love him. It's so easy to lose control but hang in there huni. Please feel free to reply xxxxxx

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
