The urge to cut is really starting to bother me.
Okay, I am 18/f. I was cutting on and off for years. Since November I have been hosptialized three times for suicidal idiations. My parents found out about the cutting and I stopped cold turkey. That was in like February when I stopped. But I still want to cut at times. It was such a wonderful addiction. That is what it was to me. It made me feel so much better. Well, I've been having some problems again, and the wanting to cut is back. I don't know what to do. Have any advice? I really feel like I am going to do something soon.

You know alot of people I know deal with this disorder, and my first question to you is- are you in therapy? I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and the same nerve that triggers you to be anxious makes you sad as well, so there were times when I was pretty low. I am seeing a therapist every week and am on the medication called, Lexapro and it is really amazing. Taking some meds may be just what you need to get you over this hump in your life. Hope I helped!

I'm going to be totally honest with you and say that for me, I never really lost the urge to cut. It's something that has stayed with me for the past four years. The only thing I can suggest is finding another way to get your emotions out, or finding another release. For example, every time you wanted to cut, you could call a friend to talk, or exercise or something t take your mind off it. This is the only thing that seems to help me. I hope it might help you.
