i havent cut in months..other than the other night..but that wasnt for me..
i vowed to stop cutting a few months ago..but i have the biggest urge to do it now. i dont want to. i dont. i really dont. but. it feels like i need to. and i know thats not even true. i'd feel better if i did. but i feel like shit if i dont...i hurt so much right now. i wanna let it go =/ help?

deleted_user 12/27/2007

i wish i could help but i myself havent managed to beat that feeling yet so i have been there. try to focus on something like tv or a good book or some music. do some situps or take a walk. that usually stalls it for me so it might help you

good luck

Have you tried ice & red food colouring?

Have either of you considered Cap's Therapy?

deleted_user 12/27/2007

Punkee 12/27/2007

idk. idk what anyone can do. but i figured it was worth saying something

Punkee 12/27/2007

food coloring. dont have any. caps theory. i'd rather cut to be honest >.<

deleted_user 12/27/2007

i figured out what caps theory is lol and i just wouldnt do it afterwards i dont see how it could work

Punkee 12/27/2007

its not so much that i wouldnt do it...its a good idea..but..i dont see the purpose in it if youre set on cutting and dont really care about caps theory.. ugh. i need something to do. this is getting bad....im litterally STARING it a pair of scissors...

deleted_user 12/27/2007

I was cutting on a daily basis. I haven't cut since Dec 1st. It's something you have to put effort into.

deleted_user 12/27/2007

I still get the urges... sometimes quite strong. But the thought of having to type out all those individual hugs is giving me that extra edge not to cut.

I found if I put a bit of red food dye in my palm and held ice, it helps. You get the red like blood and the ice gives you the pain.

Put this sissors somewhere that you cannot see them. Do you have an ipod? Do you have one of those little stress balls?

Punkee 12/27/2007

i cant...i have to do it. >.

deleted_user 12/27/2007

You do not HAVE to do it... you want to do it.

Punkee 12/27/2007
