itchy

[habitualrelapser]

hi, I thought I had stopped for good but about a month ago I cut myself really bad and now my arms feel so...itchy. like the only way to stop it is to cut. I also just read a post on here that triggered me and typing this is the only thing stopping me from getting up to get something sharp. if anyone has a way to stop it please let me know.

Try snapping rubber bands on your arm instead, that's what usually works for me. Over and over and over, until it hurts too much to snap anymore. Or get a pen, and draw a butterfly on your arm, where you want to cut, and put a name inside of someone you love. A friend, a family member, significant other. Name it, take care of it. It gets a lot harder to cut when you know you'd have to cut the butterfly instead. Good luck!

don't scratch just leave it alone it will stop eventually give it 3 days and the itch will disappear

Try to keep yourself moving and occupied. Don't read these threads in specific for awhile, until the itching goes away. Just remember you are in totally control of the situation.
