how does one fight the urge to cut
Self-Harm Recovery / by 324B21

...See more tw // self-harm, cutting I'm pretty much clean for more than a year now but these days, whenever I try to sleep, the familiar urge to cut fills my mind. I keep trying to ignore it, but what happens is that it makes me more anxious and caged and trapped. I'd sometimes catch myself fantasizing of getting one of my knives and just slice one clean line on my arm. I could practically feel the relief that it would give me in my fantasy. I've been fine the past year because I would find distractions for me to do or run myself ragged doing all kinds of things so that I would just sleep things off. However, with this pandemic and being locked up in the house with nothing to do, it's not a surprise that these urges that I'm constantly fighting are getting stronger again. It's exhausting and honestly, one little cut wouldn't hurt right? I never cut deep and I just need release. I know that's an awful mindset but I'm going crazy. Anyway, this is just me ranting and going off on here coz it's currently 2 am and I. Cannot. Sleep. Anw, idk how to use this tbh coz it's been years since I was last here so I'm sorry if I'm breaking some rules or guidelines rn.
