Bad urges

BrokenWingedAngel

I am having really bad urges. I am just wanting to cut myself really bad. Feel the blade go across my wrist. See the blood leave me, and watch all the pain go away with it. I haven't had an urge to cut this bad in a long time. I was going to go for a walk to try and get my mind off of it, but I don't like my neighborhood, and I don't want to walk alone, but no one will walk with me. I just can't seem to beat this urge right now =(

Well behaved women rarely make history. Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek... "if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. if you want to be happy, practice compassion" the Dahli Laama Peace- Zinnia Previous discussions I participated in: Random Thoughts for Jritchie W.R.A.P. what i know about jrock

Angel you have to fight the urge to do this. It's not worth it is it? What's the real pay off here? Just a second of release? How about punching a pillow, have you tried that? Walk around your house if you don't like the neighborhood, at least you can get out.

You can do this, you don't have to cut to feel better.

I get behind myself I need to rewind myself

I take too many pills, it helps to ease the pain.

Keep fighting that urge. I know how you feel. I have those urges too. It is hard. Do your best to distract.

My best day is worse than the worst day you have ever imagined.

Please fight the urge. PM if you need to, please, Angel. I have certainly "fought urges," and in the past, succumbed to them.

It can be hard, but please consider some much better alternatives.
