well i've been thinking about s/h pretty much 24/7 for past week, i've kinda managed to resist but today i went to brush my teeth but picked up a razor and started cleaning it without even realizing..

i kinda keep biting my fingers as well without realizing it, sometimes i only notice when i see the marks.

just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences and what ended up happening

I have scars I don't even remember making. It's also a habit of mine to pick at my fingers or bite my lips until they bleed. It makes it a lot harder to stop but if you put a real conscious effort into it, you can stop the problem before it starts.

Keep trying to resist. You can read any post here and you'll see all the responses from people like me who can guarantee that self-harm is not a road you want to go down. Self-harming is incredibly addictive if continued. You end up turning to it without even thinking. It's not a healthy coping mechanism.

VM me if you ever need to talk rather than self-harming. :)

You dont have to tell me about how addictive self harming can be. I use to have a problem with cutting and burning.

There's a load of stuff going down at the moment and its all building up. So that's what's causing me to want to self harm.

I think ill be able to not do it, but its pretty hard when you dont realise your doing it

Ah, in that case, you know the whole issue that can build up.

The only thing that I can really suggest is when you are stressed or upset or you know these things are building up, be hyper-aware of what's going on around you. Make sure you're paying attention. It's not a habit I think you truly want to get back into.

Feel free to contact me whenever. :)
