Self Injury
I posted last summer about my journey and process with Self Injury here.
I am not saying that i am going to answer the questions….i just want to know if they are out there….and if they are what are they.
So….
I am curious….is there anything that you wish you knew about Self Injury?
Check out Dr Record’s office sometime this week. Look on the second from bottom shelf.. There are purple booklets there, Hope and Help for Self Injurers and Cutters.. I think you would enjoy the short read.
Thanks for sharing!
I do not wish to know any more than I already understand.
I have, in the past, been in enough emotional pain that I understood what relief it would bring to bring on physical injury. At the time, I contemplated it, and even craved the relief that I knew that it would bring to my insides – but was able to resist the urge. I believe that it was Christ in my heart and the prayers of others at the time that fought that battle for me. It is heartbreaking to know that there are so many who are unable to resist the urge to do it – the PAIN that they’re in, and the darkness that they are under.
something i do wonder about is this
some people say that in the same way an alcoholic will always be an alcoholic.. a cutter will always be a cutter (in that, the desire or the.. ability to fall back is always there)
I know some people are ‘delivered’ from their addictions it seems with no more temptation they say… which is wonderful
i guess i’ve just never come across a recovered cutter who’s claimed that they are free from the temptation.
I suppose this is less of a question and more of me just wondering. I guess i hope for a magical on/off switch when its really a process
