Is there anyone here who used to self injure/ cut? If so, how long has it been since you last did it? How did you stop? Do you ever get urges to do it again? Personally it's been since senior year. So about 2 years. I guess I sort of "grew out" of it and found better ways to deal with my problems. I occasionally get urges to cut because it's a quick fix... I wonder if these will ever go away. I was wondering if there was anyone on this forum like me.

I did about four years ago, only for maybe 6 months, then I became suicidal, my friends intervened, went to therapy and the shrink grossed me out so much I determined that i'd never do it again because I didn't want to see his face and he wasn't helping me. I fooled him like the second time i went to see him. but no, my two best friends helped me out of it and I realized that if i didn't stop I'd never get the one I loved.

i have gone about 5 months with a 1 relapse since then. I don't remember when that was, but it was about a month or 2 ago that I did it last. I stopped because I have horrible scars that I will have forever and I needed to come up with different coping skills. I stopped by seeing a pyschiatrist who put me on meds to stop the urges. Yes, I have the urge sometimes... but I haven't given in again

it's not something i consciously stop doing. i can go through periods of self harming quite a lot, and then i'll stop for months and months and just randomly start again. i don't actively try to stop myself, i guess. although, for urges, i imagine completely distracting yourself and removing yourself from the stressful situation, or from the place where you could self harm, would help a bit.

i think you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see
