Graphic / Triggering - I have an urge

Thomas42 · 24-03-2009, 07:38 AM

to carve and slash all over my arms....I feel extremely lonely (chronically lonely) and while this never changes, I want my desire to carve on my body to change.

I tend to want to carve on myself when I get/feel lonely...nothing I ever do seems to change,,,,,my arms are totally thrashed from this evening and I have dried blood all over my arms and my shirt.....

Does this ever get better??? I don't see myself getting better.....

I purchased 'Twilight' this evening (DVD),,maybe I'll watch it....

This thread is more appropriate for Serious Duscussion or Self-Injury Discussion.

I agree.
with a trigger warning too.

I see you are new... welcome! But yes, pls try to keep these to the 'serious' or the 'self injury' forums. If you arent sure where to post something try reading the 'sticky' threads at the top of each forum and it gives you the guidelines for each forum. It can be a bit confusing at first but you will get more and/or more appropriate support and replies in there.
Perhaps it is time to think of a doc/psych if you dont have one already? Or a new one if you do...
Sorry you are feeling so badly. It cana nd does get better, it just takes alot of hard work.
Anyways, try posting in one of those two mentioned, i'm sure someone will reply and give you some support.

Just wondering, do you have a doc/psych/therapist/etc? Anyone you can talk to about all this?
Finding the right person usually takes a bit of work but can really be worth it.
Have you managed to take care of your wounds?
I read yur other post, about the gf and im really sorry she reacted so badly. Unfortunately, the majority ppl simply cant fathom SI and react like that.
I know it isnt much consolation, but you are better off with someone who is more willing to at least listen.

Hey,
I'm sorry you have an urge. Try watching your DVD and maybe take your mind off the urge for a while? Keep yourself distracted as much as possible. The urge will pass soon. Is there anyone you can talk to about how you're feeling? Take care. xo
