Help

i’ve been feeling the same way. whilst i really do understand, and i feel like a hypocrite saying it, but i do know that it’s not the solution. im not sure exactly what would help you right now but maybe start by taking some deep breaths and reminding yourself that even though it sucks a feeling is a feeling and not and emergency. and the feeling will lessen. you could start by putting it off for a bit and knowing that you can always do it later if you have to. sometimes it makes it more bearable whilst sitting with it. is there anything you want to talk about? take care of yourself

Can you cut fruit instead? <3 *hugs*

I like holding ice or drawing on my arm. I understand the feeling, I really do. Ride the wave, it’s ok to feel these urges. I’m thinking of you. 🫂

@angelicanathema I know it's tempting friend but giving In makes the pattern harder to break. It is very similar to an addiction and you feel like you HAVE to do it or you'll die. I know the feeling. I'm almost 4 weeks free and it's still a struggle but I'm learning that the longer you can ride each wave out,  the less intense it becomes. Riding waves felt impossible In week 1 but the deeper into i get, the easier it is. You have to distract yourself until the desire drops in intensity. Urges peak around 20 mins. If you can call a friend or watch a movie or keep your hands busy with something else, you'll be okay 

Hey there
