You're not a moron, you are not alone in having triggered yourself deliberetely. I have done it before too. Please try not to look at it anymore if you can. Can you try and distract yourself in a healthy way perhaps?
Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, write, draw, post in F&D, clean; anything as long as it keeps you busy. Remember these urges will pass. I'm here if you need to talk

you shouldn't because it's not worth it for a few seconds of 'relief'. Trust me on that. There are loads of other things, I know people say it all the time, but elastic bands, ice cubes.
It is really difficult but if you can beat the urges now then things might start getting easier.
Try. I know you're triggered but do something else. I'm here to chat if you want (anything random might help)

Stay safe. Just try anything at all that will distract you.
RYL is here if you need it, just try and work through it, the feeling of managing to not SI is better than when you do.
Hope you're ok

Everyone's right. You can get past these feelings. Don't give into them. And you're NOT a moron. I too have deliberatly looked at such pictures. I can still remember my heart pounding! Does it almost feel like.. "If they can, why can't I"? Thats how I used to feel.
Try drawing what you wish you could do instead. Then you can rip it up and no harm will be done?!
Thanks. I stayed up late talking to friends again. I fell asleep around two, and thankfully I was too tired to do anything. It was like "You know you want to move and get your tools..." but the other part was like "No, you have school tomorrow...you need sleep. Shut up and fall asleep!"
*shrug*
whatever works i guess
