Happy Cutting
 

Hey

I'm on a total high just now, and I haven't been this happy in a long time, years. Yet I really really want to cut. I don't get it :ermm:
I know ways of stopping urges when I'm down, but it isn't working, I really don't get it. I'm friggin HAPPY!!!! :cry:

Can you try and remind yourself that you don't need to self harm, especially while you are so happy?

i used to get like this all the time too, its so weird.
sometimes i found getting the energy out in a happy way can be helpful... like calling friends to talk about good things that have happened. sometimes that requires energy like running or dancing
you can get through this
you deserve to be happy, try and enjoy it

Sometimes I feel like that too. It feels like you don't really have a 'reason' to but still want/need to. For me it signals just how much its become a habit and something I rely upon. To want it even when I'm in a 'good' space made me realise just how out of proportion it was. It had gone beyond a temporary coping measure and was now controlling me. Is this how you feel too? How do you feel about talking to someone about it in an effort to break this cycle? x

Well, I didn't so - thanks guys :)
That's 4 days free now. Plan to make it 4 months!

^ I know, you've done so well!

I'm so proud of you.

Stay strong, and remember I'm only a phone call or text away

Keep it up :)

it's a habit. it reminds us of feeling good so we wnt to do it even if we are feeling good.

I know exactly what you mean! The same thing happens to me all the time. My dr said its because I feel the need to sabotage my life when it's going too well. Because my life is going so good right now, I feel the need to injure more than usual.
