I find the worst time of day for me & cutting is right after I wake up. I don't know if it's me fearing facing the day or what. But AMs stink.

So, I try to get myself moving pronto. Get in the shower, etc. & start going so that I don't have the time to sit around & think about SI.

Doesn't always help.

How are mornings for everyone else & what do you do to get through them? Any advice is much appreciated.

Hmmmmm, *scratches head* if only they made coffee in an IV drip!!!! *grin*

I understand how you feel. I have a hard time with self-harm,but it is at nighttime. I am here for you.

I am usually ok in the morning but whenever I get the urge I try and get out of the house so that I am out of harms way and don't have access to things I could hurt myself with.

I try and surround myself with people who dont know I cut and I have never cut infront of anyone so I try to make sure I'm not alone.

Hope this helps

I normally find its the night time when I feel worse,the darkness creaps in and I feel so isolated and left with my thoughts,I don't get much sleep any more because I'm fighting the urges to cut.
