Impulse

[love is louder]

i have never cut on impulse until this afternoon
does this mean its getting worse!?

Not necessarily, but either way it isn't good and you need to stop before it gets any worse. Talk to your therapist as I said in your other post, tell her you self harm. And in the mean time work on beating the urges try distractions such as drawing, singing, music, reading. Or try techniques such as elastic band snapping, drawing cuts on, the butterfly project, rubbing ice where you want to cut.

stop while you are head... scars are no fun and neither is cutting. it may feel good in the moment but if u slip up and die for example people including your therapist will feel bad and your parents could potentally charge her because u never opened up to her so she could help you.. dont make this harder on yourself

Draw on your arms fake cuts... It sort of helps, but you cooed get toxic poisoning ... I think.

Or like Louise said talk to your therapist, she may be able to help you.

Sorry I can't be much of a help, but feel free to PM me if you need anyone to talk to!

I remember the first time I cut on impulse, it scared me too.

I guess it's scary because it means you're a little more out of control of it. It doesn't mean your cuts have to get worse though. If you can stop cutting for other reasons, then maybe how much you want to do it on impulse will go down too.

Thanks for the replies guys. much apriciated
This happened monday morning and since then i havent even thought about it once.
i know its only been a couple of days but im happy with that.
h and whats the butterfly project?

[FullyAlive]

The butterfly project basically whenever you have the urge to harm, you draw a butterfly on yourself. You name it and then you let it rub off but if you self harm then the butterfly dies.
It never worked for me but everyone is different and it has worked for a lot of other people.
