Triggering (SH): cutting more often

[Hannah36]

lately ive been cutting myself more often. the teachers have seen my arms and ive been to the counsellor, its helping a bit but ive still felt the urge to cut. i cant tell my best friend how many times ive actually cut ( she only knows of a few ) but i really dont care who sees anymore. ive cut myself about 59 times so far, not all in one go though...

Whenever you have the urge to cut yourself, try distracting yourself.

i cant distract myself because thats all i think about

Have you talked to someone about those thoughts?

im seeing a counsellor but other ppl thnk im doing it for attention

Alot of people think that when a person cuts, they're doing it for attention. They're wrong. People who cut themselves are more than likely, probably, suffering from a mental illness.

but sometimes when i cut i forget the reason im doing it
