Why do I always think about cutting when I have only cut once?

[Cicero]

So whenever I feel strong emotional pain, I always think about cutting. It's weird. I've only cut once, and after I cut myself, I didn't like it. It didn't help me. But whenever I feel pain, I'm always thinking to myself "I just need to cut myself".

Maybe because you're near people that cut, or being part of this site knowing people cope by cutting, you think that you can use it as a coping mechanism. But since you don't like it, you won't. Besides it's not always strong emotional pain, I cut because I'm stressed and haven't cut in a long time. Since you haven't gotten addicted to cutting, it's best that you don't do it again. The first cut lead onto a lot more for me. Thank god it didn't for you. Find another strategy. Just because you're thinking something doesn't mean you'll do it.
