I've never been one of the big "cutters" but I do turn to it sometimes because I honestly don't know what else to do. I'm really deppressed right now. I don't WANT to cut myself. But I feel an intense urge to. what can I do to keep me from doing it? Don't tell me to get prof. help. I don't need it...I hardly ever do this. But life's been bad lately.

talk to someone u really trust who already knows that you do it.
Thats what i told my friend to do. Discuss with them why u feel the urge to cut and why ur depressed.
also u can control ur depression once you find out why ur depressed and what thoughts have caused the emotional turmoil within u.
U can also get out of depression with this strategy.

Ure actions always speak louder then ur words, so watch what u do
&b mindful of other peoples feelings,&they will b mindful of ur

Try the rubber band trick, that'll work for a bit.
Do something with your hands, draw, write, text anything.
Focus on something else and if all else fails sleep.
At least that's what usually works for me.

Just remember that there are people online that you can talk to, and it might not help as much as talking to someone face to face but, its better than marking yourself up. I dont blame you for turning to such an action, to do so would be hypocritical but, i do hope that you will look at doing things like talking to people on lw, and drawing and singing and crying and watching movies. Anything to stop yourself from cutting.
