go running. for some reason that makes me get all my anger out. Hit a pillow. HIt the air. Don't cut yourself. You don't want to start trust me

poem I wrote
want to drag a sharp edge across my arm
not to kill just to harm
let these feelings free
just wanna be the old me


I wrote instead
freed the words in my head

that works too. getting the words and emotions out in something else like poetry other than SI. is the urge still bad or is it wearing off?

its there a little I tried but couldnt do it just scratches but I am gonna talk to my therapist on tues I have been out of work for 6 weeks so I think it may just be time on my hands too much thinking and maybe the depression starting thanks for caring it helps people I talk to just since ur talking about it you wont or Ill kick ur ass if you do that ..not much help

yeah if you're not doing anything you can over think things. which can be bad. i'm here if you eva wanna talk. i suffer from depression 2

I'm glad you haven't really cut yet! I also suffer from depression so, you can message me if you ever need to chat! Try hard to write or do anything other then self-harm it becomes an addiction

honey try your hardest to resist it please!!! your little poem is exactly the way i feel and i hadn't cut for almost 2 years and thought i had it licked but friday morning i ended up at the er to get it glued or sewed up and caused my mom to lie so they wouldn't put me in the mental ward again. you know one hospital i have gone to several times has a unit called MADU "i call it THE MAD UNIT" lol hope some help if you need to talk or need just an ear i'm here. Fran
