I've been itching to ... cut- all day... even considered it in the bathroom at school- i burnt yesterday and two days before that cut a few times... and... it keeps escalating- i read the thing at the beginning of the site saying what you can do to get your mind of it but nothing works... any unique suggestions you think will work? I feel, honestly addicted- like i need it... and i know its all perception but... i really need to get my mind off it...
I dont want to die.

I know that it's hard to not cut when you really want it that badly at that many of the distractions don't work, but one that does is forcing yourself to be with people, like your family or friends. You most likely won't cut in front of them, because they probably don't know. And if you do they'll most likely stop you. As for the distractions, not all of them will work for everyone so it's worth thinking what would most suite you, like what are your hobbies?
Hope i helped you can VM me anytime :)

hun why do you self harm? is it just for the addiction, if it is jus the addiction, then distraction is the key. talk to people, do wat ever that makes u happy.

Snap the elastic, that's a wonderful helper. If not, go into the middle of the field and scream your lungs out like there's nothing else left, and sleep, seriously. Sleeping helps a lot as your technically unconscious, therefore cant do anything in your sleep. All addictions are beatable.. But they are hard and you'll need willpower. I wish you the best of luck and remember you do not, under any circumstances need to cut, tell that to your mind :)

Thank you all so much.. I actually just called a really good friend of mine that knows that I was trying to ... Not ... Do ... That. And I was rubbing ice on my wrist and it helpEd a lot more then suspected... Knowing some one cares, like that friend ... Is almost enough and knoWing people that don't even know me care is insane but helps just as much. Thank you again.
And in response, no. It's not just for the addiction. It keeps me from killing myself and helps me to FEEL. Other of you understand...
Thank you again.

Glad you were able to talk to someone close to you, it does really help, and its good to hear that the ice cube thing worked well for you too.
We all care, becuase we've been in the same or a similar position to you, and your life is worth living

Again it's crazy to know that people care- that's something my own family couldn't reassure me of... Thanks again- since I've found this website t seems like it's reasurred me that I'm not alone with this.. Sick, terrible... Amazing "habit"? And that it is possible to overcome it and stay clean.. Thanks everyone again...
