I know what you mean :/ Even if I'm feeling pretty good, I still am tempted to hurt myself. It doesn't seem to make sense... if I'm feeling good, why do I want to feel pain? This is something I struggle a lot with, so I'm not sure if I can give much advice. Though I've heard holding ice cubes against your skin can help with beating the urges. It creates a bit of pain, but doesn't do harm.

I hope you're doing alright... Send a PM if you need to talk

*hugsss*
