Graphic - when life is good but you still feel like hurting yourself.

[maenyn]

So life is good. I finaly got a job I like. Things are a little shacky with my girlfriend and I but whenever I see her my heart shoots to the moon. So other than the little pa (panack attack) Life is awsome....That being said I still get those urges to sh(self harm). It feels so good when I do it. I find that I'm doing it for a different reason though. I'm not doing this because I'm upset .. .. its more of a sexual thing.. but its rather hard to tell people (family and friends) but I cant stop.

I think self-harm is just like an addiction- whatever's going on, a drug addict will still need a fix just as much, right?
Can you try distraction techniques or anything to try to get away from physical damage?

I understand how you feel. When I used to self harm I don't it at the most random times, even when everything was going alright. It becomes an addiction, and it's hard to stop, even when you're not having a hard time. It's just like breaking a habit. When you feel the urge to self harm, try to get your mind off of it and distract yourself. Think of other things you could do to take up your time that will get your mind off of self harm. It's easier said than done, but it's not impossible.
