I've been getting more and more urges to cut myself. Last night I was carving a piece of wood to add to my carving collection, and I sliced my thumb(Directly by the side of the nail.) this started the thought process. I recognize the feeling and for a moment, I missed it. I have been clean from S-H for about 5 days now. I don't know what I should do.
You're writing in the teenage section, so you're writing these things about your life condition while you're still very young. This seriously moves me to compassion and makes me want to really want to help you as best I can. But I need to know things first so I can do that.
Usually the things we do when we want to hurt ourselves are never without reason. Even when you have an uncontrolled addiction to something negative, it is always due to a deeper reason. You don't eat a ton of chocolate cake a day because you "feel like it," you have to search for the reason that really drives you to do it.
So, for the next few days, I would like you to try to think hard about this: why do you cut yourself? What drives you to do it? I would like you to give me a reasoned answer and not the first thing that comes to your mind. You don't cut yourself just for the sake of it. There is a reason for it. If we find the reason we can solve the reason. Whether you solve just the symptom to stop cutting yourself -- that doesn't interest me. Let's work on the reason. Think about it, please and then write it to me as a reply to this topic. I thank you. Don't worry about it. We will work this out well.
