Triggering (SI) - urges again

[asheee]

I'm getting urges again. I just keep seeing images in my head and its so hard and very tempting. I don't know what has triggered me though. This just isn't fair. Is it so much to ask for just for one day where I can be free from SI urges?

Sorry to be such a pain but I just don't know what to do. I've tried listening to music, drawing, watching tv, reading and this would usually help but it's just stronger tonight.

Go for a run/walk. I know this is really weird, but exercise is a really good way of making you feel good. Clears your head.

If you're in a place where it's efking freezing, however, try dacning around your room. You'll feel stupid for about 3 minutes,then you should feel better. :)

Is there a feeling or a situation that is causing this?

My advice is to fight through the pain. I know there are things you could do, like hold an ice cube in your hand to feel the burn, draw where you would want to cut (this always made me want to do it more), and write down what you would want to do and rip it up.

Those are some I've heard, but I don't know if they would work for you, they might.

Just keep fighting it, it will pass.

I'm not too sure, we've been doing about a topic in my health and social class and it's kind of personal to my past so that might have something to do with it.

Thanks for your advice and taking the time to reply though (:

hehe thanks DaVengenzz, that made me giggle a little :)
