Find something that will take your mind off of it.
I know it’s hard to do but at least try.
Write. Draw. Listen to good music. Read a book.
Something like that. Whenever I get the urge to cut, I get my journal and just write until I can’t write anymore even if I constantly repeat myself in it or it makes no sense.

Definitely music, think of things that make you want to do the opposite of cutting. A good vice for me when I’m depressed is movies, they make me forget about my own life. A movie I’d definitely suggest watching is Waitress.

And also, althought this may be embarassing, try masturbating, it’s a release too, but of the good kind. I find that helps with stress issues also.

Whenever i wanna cut, I sit and cry. It’s a form of release. I cry and scream into a pillow. I also watch tv shows , like “Friends”. I surf the internet and read up on articles about depression.

It takes alot, I know, to stop yourself. But u’ve gotta try….. just a little bit harder. Talk to someone. you’ll feel better. You can talk to me if it helps

Take care

You are doing great fighting the urge.
Fight it with all u got hun.
Here is a link that is how bad it can get
cutting is an adiction..
Only open if u can handle it. They are distubing pictures of a really bad cutter..
It could shock u into seeing how urgent it is to stop now..

I agree.
Those who think there is no hope wont have any change.

Proud of u!
You did great fighting that urge. I know how hard it is.
Have u got a goal or dream?
Sometimes it is hard to change when we dont have a plan. Our brains need a thing to make us go in the right direction.
