Cutting Yourself: Find Relief
|
In order to begin healing yourself, you will need to confide in someone you trust. You will need to start talking about your problems, instead of keeping them inside you. It will be a difficult thing to do, especially of you have dealt with your emotional distress almost all your life. But choosing one person to help you would be a good place to start doing this. In order to get this help, entrust your problems into them, and, whenever you feel the need to cut yourself, contact them and speak to them about your problems. If it is hard to find a person to trust and you are in search for help, a hotline can help you, as well. The people on the other end of the line will be able to talk to you and convince you to give up on cutting yourself when you feel the urge to do so. It is best if you have this number with you all the time, so you can call it from wherever you are. Cutting yourself is a thing that you do to yourself. If you find it hard to give up, you can talk to someone about it, but no one but you, can make things change for the better, for real. Talk to your doctor and explain what you are going through, as some psychological disorder can be at the root of this. A good way to eliminate the possibility of cutting yourself is to remove all the sharp objects from your proximity. By doing that, you will be more able to restrain from cutting yourself, if you do not find anything handy to do so. You will not feel the need to cut yourself all the time. It is wise to think about what causes such a thing to happen. If there is a special someone or something that determine you to do so, the wisest thing to do is to stay away from such triggers. It may look like an important thing to you right now, but those scars will walk with you all your life, long after the trigger is long gone. Replacing cutting with a less harmful method of hurting yourself is another step. For instance, take a rubberband and place it on your wrist. When you feel like hurting yourself, just snap the rubberband on your wrist. A good way of getting it all out is to express your feelings in an artistic way, by drawing or writing, or listening to music. Progress needs time. Check yourself in a couple of days to see how you are. A good way to remove yourself from dangerous activities is by doing something else. You can ride your bike, or take your dog for a walk, or do simple things, like watching TV. When the tensioned moments appear, take a deep breath and try to relax. Then talk to someone about your problems. Anything that can keep you away from harm is good. Scream, do whatever to replace the bad habit of cutting yourself. The most important thing is to care about yourself and love yourself. If you manage to do that, your perspective in life will change, as well.
