Why so I thoughts of doing things that I know will destroy me?

I’ve been thinking about getting back into cutting which I know I shouldn’t do and for the past few days I’ve been strongly considering getting into crack and stuff. I don’t understand why I’m having these thoughts. What really baffles me is I am in the best environment I’ve ever been in. I’m so happy to be where I am and it seems like because I’m so used to the pain that I feel like I need to drag myself back down or something.

Try rubber bands on your wrist and begin snapping them.

The brain only remembers stuff from the last 24 hours. So if you begin cutting again you will defeat all your efforts to quit. The brain is also looking for ways to relieve pressure and mental torture so that is why people cut because it’s a relief mechanism.

Don’t let your thoughts control your life. You are in CONTROL of how you think. Dismiss the thoughts by concentrating on what is around you write at this moment. If you have a picture that you like, look at it and notice the brush strokes or the magnificent colors of it. Concentration of what is around right now will life you out of this obsession with the mind talk you are experiencing.

Sorry about the misspelled words in the last sentence. It should read “Concentration of what is around you right now, will lift you out of this obsession with your mind-talk that you are experiencing.”

why would you want to do crack when theres much better, longer lasting drugs? not to say that you should do those drugs. im just assuming from your post that you dont know much about drugs in general, maybe you’ve never even smoked a joint.. i dont know. the moral of this response is, if you’ve never taken drugs, then try to go a little bit longer. if you’ve made it this long without them, then why start now?

Think about everything you have now, and would you really want to throw it away.
