Craving to cut.

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Say when I have a..."episode" and i want to cut really bad and my arms and thighs go numb and my chest drops, and i wanna scream cause i want to cut so bad, what do i do? or what can i do to make that feeling go away?

I don't think you can necessarily make that feeling of craving go away. Usually you can talk to somebody you trust and who you can talk to about wanting to self-injure and/or distract yourself from it through the items on lists of distractions (http://self-injury.net/information-recovery/recovery/distractions). Basically, you've got to ride through it, find outside help, and/or distract yourself from it. You can't really turn it off though with things like therapy or treatment of the underlying issues you may find that they help with your triggers (by having them worked through).
