How do I beat the urges to cut myself?

I aint looking for attention, so if you think that, you can go shove it where the god damn sun don't shine! I have been batteling self injury since my father stared abusing me. I suffer from Depression, and Borderline Personality disorder, and for the past few days, my depression has been a lot worse, like below I have ever been in months. I don't want to tell my Fiance, because I know he will rush over here, and I really don't want to be around anyone tonight. Any Advice is really needed......

LonelyYiska	Posted Nov 6th, 2009 at 3:36PM Try drawing red lines in place you usually cut. Draw a pretty pictures where you usually cut, and then you won't want to mess it up. Or get a wash-off tattoo. Rated: +4Vote for this!
blackrainbows	Posted Nov 6th, 2009 at 3:36PM i have BPD too and its a problem for me not to cut. When I feel the urge coming on I take a hot bath or put headphones in and turn my music up really load. Also flicking an elastic band against your wrist or holding and ice cube can work because you get the pain sensation but there is no actual damage. Try getting into a DBT therapy programme, they teach you lots of ways to cape with your feelings there. Good luck and message if you need to talk xxx Rated: +4Vote for this!
purplelady56	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 8:47PM I don't know if you have a belief in God. But i do know by experience God can heal any self mutilation. I have seen first hand the work of God in healing many addictions. I am a believer in Jesus Christ and i have seen miracles that God is real and can heal all things in us that hurt or destroy our lives. And you can ask God into your life anywhere you are. He says ask and it will be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you. He's there ask Him for help... Rated: +2Vote for this!

MariusValjean	Posted Nov 1st, 2009 at 8:35PM I hear you. I know your not looking for attention, I wasn't either. Now you don't have to listen to me, but I think that you can't do that on your own. You need to find someway that you can express yourself, yea I know that that seems like a stupid idea, but its better than the alternative. I think right now you should go to sleep, and talk to someone about it when you feel a little better. Rated: +1Vote for this!
