My new non-cutting technique

[Mirataku]

My counsellor told me to try two things when i feel like cutting:
1. Hold cubes off ice
2. Twang an elastic band against where i want to cut

What do you think?

I've heard of the ice cubes before, some people say it doesn't work for them though. Not heard of using the elastic band though, I guess it might work.

It's different for some people though, they might want a bigger release.

I think you should atleast try :)

[ShatteredWings]

i like icecubes.....sorry that was weird. yes do try it atleaaaaast. anything [with in reason, don't turn to another form] to stopp

[krystalm]

i do the elastic band thing.. well use tooo.. it worked for a while until things came up again, but it did work!

[AutumnDae]

I have never cut or self harmed so I don't have experience. I would at least try. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work right?

Give it a go, see if it works.

I don't cut, I have other ways of hurting myself...

I don't cut... I be a little more mature with my problems and get advice.

Elastics mine. I run out fast though seeing as I break them quickly.-Alex D

An elastic band didn't work for me.
The ice did, for alittle while.

[ktkurbst0mp]

The rubberband worked for me.
I always had two or three around my wrists.

The only alternative is solving the problem why you cut. Everything else is temporary. Get the root of your problems sorted, because after a while the temporary solutions because diluted, they dont hurt enough or they just arent available or some other crap which makes u stumble back, to the kitchen draw and taking a knife and drawing blood once more. If you can solve you issues because people dont cut for no reason, unless you count S&M but thats sexual deviance which also lies in the neurological department but tahts another story. Talk to us, tell us whats wrong, tell people who can fix your problems whats wrong and if there isnt a way to fix them, the only solution is inside yourself, think is it really worth it? Try a little self control even if u hold out cutting for 30mins, taht 30mins the next time grows to 1 hour. till eventually theres 10years between each session, or you dont do it at all. thats the real key. seriously try it, next time u want to cut, just dont, its hard I know i've been there and back + got the t-shirt. We don't judge because you don't judge us. <3


P.s Zan0ra If you dont have a good contribution other than "I dont ut, im a little too mature for it"
please take that kinda of degrading BS else where.

Theres nothing worse than trying to quit the self abuse than people saying that we are immature because we find phsyical solutions to our nuerological issues. sure we'd all love to go outside and smell the roses and every bad thought goes away like peaches and fking cream, but it dont work that way. So next time kinda think stuff through.

Same to you, your not in a position to criticise others posts.

He didn't shine in a good way but as you can see nobody paid attention to his post.

Otherwise I like your point of view

[Axellance]

that is definitely worth trying i used the rubber band method for a while when i was trying to quit and i haven't cut in quite a while now... I've never tryed ice though but whatever works for you.
