hey how do u control the urges?

[Whos_ur_Buddha]

I had the worst week ever and tonight i tried to block the urge but it over powered me and i self harmed. i tried everything i usually due to get through the urge but it just didn't work.

this is going to sound weird, but play difficult games, and do difficult puzzles, cause its distracting

Pray I would say

Like what cheesee said play difficult games. If you don't have this game on ps3 it's fine but I like to play dark souls because its so hard so rage inducing that after you play it all your frustration is out and yeah fun game btw if you're willing to go through a lot of game controllers.

Like people said,play dificult games.But i get distracted easly by any games.I have never been i a situation like you so im not sure what im talking... But you couldd go excersize,go out,socialize or.go somewhere public.(cause you cant do it there,someone will stop you)

Well, i have never cut, but i have come close too many times(close as in the blade nearly breaking my skin) but i wrestle, it helps keep my anger, frustration and other emotions at bay. I play RTS games to work my brain, I play League of Legends to stay away from cutting. I practice hard songs so i have my hands busy so they don't fall onto my blade.

What's the urge for specifically? Seeing blood or feeling pain? People have different reasons to cut so if you know that it'd be easier to think of ways to help

I just play puzzle games on my phone. I've beaten all of the Flow games from times I've had urges.
