In reply to What is an ex-cutter to do?, posted by Dinah on January 4, 2002, at 20:20:39
I haven't cut (well, apart from a few minor scratches) in 7 months now. What I do when i feel that deep urge is to pluck!! I pluck the hairs on my legs!! OK, so its probably not hugely healthy, but its a damned site better than cutting!
Or you could take up s moking!!!

> I have made a probably rash and ill-considered promise to myself to never cut myself again. I consider it a rash promise mainly because I don't think I was ready for it. I instantly began obsessing about cutting and feeling that itchy-crawly anxiety/tension. I am now considering amending the promise to only apply to razors and not to my very safe cuticle scissors. But I hate to break a promise, even one made to myself. And I probably won't break this one. It's just hard. Especially in the morning when I first wake up.
> Are there any ex-cutters out there? What do you do about the obsessing and the tension? Does it eventually go away?
