well then dont go on utube and look at the so called videos that are supposed to help us... damn, talk about triggers.

Sweety, I have had a day from hell, almost fired from my job, had to see a guy that i would rather stab than stab myself, moving to a place i dont want to move.. trust me, im here with you! Lets just keep busy and not go that route.

If you want to mail me.. im here.

Do you have anyone at home you trust to tell how you are feeling?

If not please write here about anything and waste minutes till the erge passes.

you can do it.. I know you can... hang on.. you are in my thoughts & prayers.

we are all here for you!!! find something to distract yourself and let it pass, it will!! my thoughts are with you sweetie.

hey i may not be perfect but just message me.

I know I'm a bit late in this, but next time here is what I do. It is the "nicotine patch" for some cutters. Go grab some ice and apply it on the skin where you want to cut. That way, you feel a similar sensation without having to actually cut. Do that when you get these urges and slowly stop using ice and move toward conquering your thoughts.

Let me know if that helps. What do you do when you get these urges, how do you fight it back?

If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to contact me.
I've been in recovery three years now [well, three years as of december 23rd]
I still have the marks to prove the addiction and while they may be triggering, they might also deter you from damaging yourself the way I have.
Let my know if you ever need to talk.

I know how you feel. I know think i am a lot older than you but i still do. The thing that helps the most is to talk to my therapist about it or a few other people that i trust. Please look for help. If you need to you can talk to me or anybody else here at DS good luck love you

everything going ok?? when i was switched to a different med for my seizure i had on 4th of july, i had a really bad attitude change. i was getting really bad thoughts and dreams of cutting.. i did everything in my power to control it and i someone how got over it.

and i agree with kari27. some videos on youtube are suppose to help us out can be triggering.. for once one video that a kid made to help spread self-harm awareness made me triggered and that rarely happened.. i'm got not going to say what he hade in it because i don't want to triggere anyone but if you want to know what was in it, just send me a message.. but i have made 2 self-harm wareness slideshows and the only thing that can be triggereing about it is about 3 pics that show some people's scars
