Hey anons. I while ago, over a period of around a month, i was cutting multiple times daily. I decided to try to stop, and I managed to go 2 months clean, but today i cut myself multiple times again. Any advice on stopping permanently?

Maybe try eating chili peppers? It will give a sense of pain without physically harming your body.

I'm sorry you had to go through this annon.

If you are doing it make sure to do it somewhere where it isn't dangerous and where it isn't immediately noticeable in the future when they scar. I used to cut on my thighs shallowly. In terms of stopping, try SERIOUS exercise whenever you get the urge, or holding ice cubes to the point at which it is painful. Ultimately therapy can help significantly.

Put rubber bands on your wrist
Pull them and have it hit your wrist.

I used to cut to feel something when my emotions numbed out too much from being beaten by my partner.

I'm a dude and she was a smaller girl. So it was traumatic to be hit on its own but humiliating that it was even happening to begin with.

I would be told as and after it happened that if I told anyone she would bruise herself and tell everyone I was abusing her physically. She was pretty convincing, cry on command and all that.

Poking my finger with a sewing needle helped while I was weaning off it after leaving that mess of a situation. Ice clenched until it hurt.

Lot of people suggest therapy, I think they're right. It was what helped me at least. It sucked and it was painful, but nothing would be MORE painful than going on without processing and dealing with that pain.

Hope you are well. And if you aren't yet then we will be here. Take the time it takes anon.

Thanks anon. Im so sorry you had to go through that, I can’t imagine how terrible that must’ve been. I’ll defined try the the ice, and rubber bands as others have suggested. I’m planning on going to therapy, but i want to try to sort this out on my own first. Again, thank you a lot.

Sorry didn't mean to make it about me.
It was boundary issues that lead me there.

Just didn't want you to think I was talking out my ass when giving advice.

I went on my own for a while too. I think it's a good idea. If you're safe that is. It helps you learn to believe in yourself and there's a way that worked for me and you will have your own way.

Quoted By:

It's useful to know that your brain only has one pain center. It cannot distinguish between physical and emotional pain.

Hurting yourself is probably a combination of intense emotional pain and cognitive dissonance. Your brain is already in pain emotionally, but since emotional pain exists only in the brain and there is no corresponding body part that the brain can pinpoint as the source, you try to make one on your own.

It sucks when this happens. Can you figure out what's causing you emotional pain, OP?

Stop hurting yourself and do something about your situation, you're an adult, take responsibility.
