Triggering (SI) - can anyone relate??

[red.rain]

i feel horrible inside. i'm about to give in to cutting. i just want to go and hide somewhere. i feel like a failure. i'm very unsafe and vulnerable. i'm not really sure what to do about any of this. cutting is a really big problem for me right now. i thought i had stopped cutting until i started back a few days ago. i went almost a month without it. the urges were sometimes hard, but not as hard as right now. right now is the worst i've ever had. i'm trying to be strong. i've tried the ice cube thing. it doesn't really work for me. i've tried other distractions too.
i'm not sure the point of this thread, but anyways comment please.

Keep trying to find new distractions and coping mechanisms. There is something out there that'll work for you. Have you checked out the big distraction list on this site? If you haven't go through it and try some things. What are things you're interested in or could get easily absorbed in? Books? Music? Movies? Braiding string? Painting your nails?

Distractions may not be the solution. Yes, do try them but I know it can be horribly frustrating when they don't work and you're left where you were before. I know it's hard, I really do, but you're doing very well.
Stay strong, you CAN do it,

yeah im in the same place, does anyone know you feel like that, i have one or 2 people i tell i feel like that and they keep me talking and stuff knowing i cant cut and type at the same time, sometimes they even talk me out of it, but just remember youve did it this long, you can get past the urges and feel proud for it

hope you feel better

i can totally relate to how you are feeling. i am trying so hard to stop and i try to fight the urges until i feel like you do right now. it's really hard. big hug for trying just keep telling yourself that just for this second/minute/hour you are not going to cut don't think about later. and if you fail pick yourself up and start tomoroow as a clean day

i cn relate, sometimes i feel i could go forever without si, then the next day i've fallen right back down again.

but just by going on here instead of giving into it immediately shows how strong your are! u seem like a strong person, keep trying to hold out. xx pm me any time x tc
