I have been struggling lately with wanting to hurt myself. I have been a cut for about 11 years and I haven't cut for about 6 months, but lately the feeling has come back. I have been hitting things such as walls, my bed, my pillow and a few other things instead of cutting. There has also been times where I have wanted to hurt or hit another person ( which I know is not very good)
The last few days have been really hard, I have been off a few of my medications and I think that it has effected me pretty badly. One I started back on tonight but the other my doctor wants to me to try and stop taking it all together, but I am not sure how long that will last.
I have done some stupid thing and made some mistakes and I have to punish myself for these things and the only way I know how is to hurt myself plus I have things that cause me pain and the only way I know that will get rid of the pain is by hurting myself.

Be strong sweetie... Distract yourself. You've made it so far.
You do not have to punish yourself. Don't punish yourself. Get that pillow and punch it... Also (this sounds dark but sometimes works for me) take a picture of yourself and scratch it up if you feel like you have to punish yourself, take out the anger on a PICTURE of yourself....hugs
