Frustration
So today is going to be rough. I have an exam in 5 hours and all I can think about is cutting. I get my stitches out but I know that will be temporary and soon enough I will need more.... sometimes I just lose control and cut too deep. I guess right now I just feel so alone. I feel like I am only living to apease other people.

Hugs to you Brittany; when you get these strong cutting urges, try to focus on something else, if that means writing your stress and problems down, do so, or exercise, go for a run, hit a punching bag, hit a pillow, use an ice cube on your skin instead of a blade, watch a movie, listen to some calming music, whatever it takes but don\'t give into the SI urges. You\'re not alone, you have a whole community here that cares about you and wants you well and safe. Hugs
