Triggering (SI) - why?
I will have a surgery on wednesday so i can't cut very much as i shouldn't get infected which i get a lot coz i don't take care of my wounds.when i think about the fact that i shouldn't cut, the more i want it.i mean i want sooooo badly to do it right now but nothing wrong has happened.i feel fine right now.im not angry im not sad but neither happy.why do i want to cut so much??it drives me crazy.its all i think about.

The more your mind dwells on a subject the more you want it. I can sit here all day and say "I won't smoke!" But in my mind I'm subconciously reminding myself that I could smoke. What you need to do is distract yourself. Get away from all the sharp and shineys and go visit the distractions page. Take a walk in the park. Do anything to keep yourself from thinking about cutting. I believe in you. I know you can do it.

I know it's easier said than done, but try to take your mind off it. Read a book, or write down whatever's in your head, or watch a fave film. Distractions really can help a lot with urges if you find the right ones.
Good luck with the surgery and everything

Take it one day at a time, just try and focus on good things.
Take some time to plan different, positive distractions for yourself.
Like rewarding yourself without thinking on it.

This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it

And, it's ok that you dont' want to stop. But in the interest of the surgery, it appears important that you put the SI on hold. Set it aside for now and go for the greater good of staying well for the surgery. If you still need the SI when you are less infection prone, you can go back to it. We're not saying you have to quit hon, we're saying that for your wellness right now, just temporarily suspend.
