Wanting to Cut

[Theone15]

I have never cut but now I'm having urges, how can I get rid of these urges?

[beag_amhain]

go for a walk, listen to music, talk to a friend, draw, write, any form of distraction can help hun =]

[Theone15]

Tried all they were only temporary

[beag_amhain]

then you need to find something that works for you, the best i find is to listen to heavy metal r any form of loud music n jus let it fill ur head so its all you think about

[Theone15]

might work

[beag_amhain]

main thing is to jus get ur mind off it n think bout sumtin else if u can, i know its really hard to do but wen u find wat works for u it does help =]

[Theone15]

I wIll tell you if it helps

You need to find something that releases that energy that's making you want to cut. Find out what that emotion is, (anger, upset, fear) and find something that releases that emotion, rather than just distracting from it. For example, anger could be released by hitting something. Writing every thought in m head is also something i've found that helps. It lets you sort out your emotions and helps you to release them.

Cutting won't help anything. it'll only make things worse in the long run, and the urges don't get easier, they get harder, much harder. It's easier not to do it than it is to stop.
