I’m actually panicking right now because I realized I’m at the start of an addiction
How do I stop this, I’ve only cut tiny slices and about 6 times, but its becoming an addiction and I know it, I just want to cut when I feel sad, and I can feel the urges getting more and stronger, like, right now my urge is creeping in, this is the first time I’ve had the urge twice in one day,(and successfully cut) and once yesterday. I also haven’t had a day back to back where I want/have to cut.
I shouldn’t have started cutting. Please how do I stop this before it gets too bad, my heart rate is in the sky right now, I feel sick. And my feeling sick and panicked is making the urge worse, its all moving so fast. Please someone, I just need to be told this won’t last forever or some techniques on how to stop early enough. Because I also hate the fact that I could create permanent scars on me.
