The urges jumped limbs

(P.s. sorry I’m having a mental breakdown and I’m high so this may be word jumble.)


I used to love cutting up my thighs. Like for some reason the spot just felt perfect and I did it without another thought, but after being clean for a little while I suddenly realized I was repulsed by just the idea of cutting those specific spots on my thighs. I thought that was a blessing, and it meant I would just stop, but then deep down I know I also really didn’t want to stop. And I just had really intense urges to cut my arms instead. And I can’t make the thoughts stop. But I also won’t cut my arms because they are in such an obvious place that my family and friends would see. And I can’t have that. But the urges are still there and it’s so conflicting and I don’t know how to make it stop.

I know what you mean.

This post is super legible btw and you articulated it well.

personally, I use a sharpie on my body to fight SH, and sometimes I'll use it to draw nice things on myself, too.

It's good to hear about your time being clean! It's worth so much not to feed into SH, and I hope you're so proud of your time off of it.
