Triggering (SI) - Cant Stop

WhenWillThisEnd · 22-03-2008, 04:44 PM

so last night i cut all up my left leg, on my left shoulder and on my left wrist (which i never do). i dont think that right now is the right time for me to try to quit, it will only make things worse. and the stress of trying to quit, is making me more stressed out than i alresdy am, so i cut more. idk what to do?

Erm, try talking to someone about why you feel stressed when youre triggered.
Or if you can't do that, go to F&D, or write or draw or something else to try and relax you and things.
Diarys help (:

Stopping SI, in my opinion, is probably the hardest thing you will ever do in your life. I'm right there with you. Everytime I try to stop, i'll make it a week then freak out and cut really badly. I don't really know what to tell you. Be strong though. You'll make it!!
If you ever need to talk PM me <3

Ok if your friends know about it, then i know its hard, but whenever your triggered phone them up for a chat so you can let some of your stress out.
Maybe your parents could sort out a tutor for you so you can have extra lessons or something like that?
