Have you talked to your GP yet, it is important you take advice on your condition.

If you do cut and you become frightened contact The Health Information Line on Tel 111

They may be able to give you support

Make a list of your fears and concerns for when you visit your GP this will extend the time allowed and you will remember all that is causing this problem

Hello sorry to hear your struggle with self harm. I used to self harm a number of years ago and I don’t believe I would have stopped but one day I cut myself so bad it scared me so much I needed a lot of medical treatment after what I done to myself and after that I didn’t want to self harm for years but not so long ago I felt the urge so strong to self harm again but looking at the huge scar I have been left with and the reminder of the scary time that was I manage to not self harm. I am currently getting therapy and counselling. I am always here if you want to chat. Never feel alone as people on this group understand I recently joined this week and the support has been great.

I find at times because I don’t self harm I tend to loose my temper more than I used to as I don’t have the self harm as a release so I tend loose my temper which I am getting help for

The urges can be really difficult to handle I haven’t self harmed for 4 months and today I got to the end of my line I couldn’t handle the urges today. I’m ok though got everything under control.

[louisestace in reply to Ham1lton]

It is extremely hard to resist the urges. You done so well to not self harm in 4 months but it’s like myself when I stopped it just got to the point where I couldn’t fight anymore and ended up self harming again. A few months back I attempted to self harm, my scars are quiet bad from my past experiences with self harm but I felt like I achieved something because instead of cutting myself deep I just ended up with scratches that were not deep at all. I feel that I am in control at the moment. When I self harm the next day it brings me down so much it’s like I have a regret. Glad your ok though

I am glad you have things under control I know it must be hard. But just keep going and telling yourself you are in control and if you need to talk like I said this is a great site for support.
