i totally agree. it became like a failsafe, a crutch. my way out when i felt overwhelmed. i think it's hard because we feel that it's something that works. what we fail to realize at times is that it only makes you feel better for the moment, and worse later on for doing it (or even thinking about it)

You wear rubber bands on your wrists and pop yourself when you feel like cutting.

Thank you. ♡ It took a lot for me to stop the first time, I hope it's not was heard this time.

I definitely feel worse now. Feeling bad makes me want to do it though, for the temporary relief. It's such an evil cycle.

It helped me for when I needed it. The only thing is it left welts but they were gone in an hour or two. A lot easier to hide and get rid of than cuts.

i know how that is. when i did it a lot (14-16), i'd do it, then feel like a piece of smurf about it (like i didn't deserve to live) so i'd do it again.

i'm a former cutter...well kinda current i guess. i do have slip-ups on occasion. my best advice for you is to do something else. i know i've been told to put a rubberband on my wrist and snap it. it never worked for me but maybei t'll help with that release?
honestly what helped me was being diagnosed and medicated for a mood disorder and depression. the meds help a lot.

Thank you, I am definitely willing to try it. It surprises me how supportive everyone is about this. I was afraid I'd get bashed.
