Wanting to cut for no reason?

[DustyChica]

I'm at almost 2 years free (yay!), but lately I've been getting urges to cut for absolutely no reason. Literally. Like, I'll be home alone, watching TV or playing on Facebook, and I'll suddenly want to cut. It's happened to me while sitting in class, playing video games, talking to friends . . . it's WEIRD. I'm not stressed or upset at all. Life is pretty good right now. But I still want to cut, yet I have no idea why.

Anybody else relate?

Congratulations on being free for so long!

I have never been free for as long as you, but sometimes I do get an urge that just seems to come out of nowhere. Do you think your urges could have anything to do with boredom? Also, when I first started cutting it gave me a feeling that was unlike any feeling I had ever had, and I haven't got that feeling from anything else. I don't know if it was ever the same for you, but if it is, maybe you are chasing that feeling?

I can relate I do the same thing....

Yes, I can relate.

I can relate a lot, I've been getting it lately, and I've been free for 4 months. (WELL DONE for being free for 2 years! That is an AMAZING achievement and you should be very proud!)
Please try not to act on them... Just keep yourself distracted and realize you have been free for so long, and you are strong enough to go even further! Remind yourself of the good things in life, whatever that may be right now :)

I can relate big time but I'm not sure what it is that causes it Sry but congrats on being harmless for so long

[Celticroots]

Yeah, that happens to me. After I quit, after a few months, I was fine and hardly ever thought about it until last January. I've been really sturggling with staying si free since September and lost a few times; since then, on and off, I've had/have urges both when there is a reason and when I'm fine.
