every day that ends with no thoughts of self h*rm is a win for me. I don’t hurt myself usually but the pain is so intense that I can’t think clearly, i keep thinking that if i got a wound in another place i’ll get some relief with pain distribution.

it’s desperate talk

I think any day with out self harm is a win and I have been in your position before but I don’t think intentionally harming yourself in another place will help with pain distribution it will just intensify the pain because now you are hurt in two or more places .

you’re absolutely right creating another wound won’t help be getting better but the thoughts always come when the pain peaks. May i ask you how did you get rid off them and control them maybe?

for me I wanted to harm myself sometimes and I tried but I couldn’t do it, I physically could not make myself do it . I think what helped to getting rid of those thoughts is repeatting positive affirmations over and over and then getting and do something I liked . It was a long process and I’m still working on it but that’s what helped me .
