I'm 6 days si free but....

[Darkcaster]

I have gone 6 days without commiting acts of self-harm. The urge this afternoon has come back. I feel like cutting all over again. I am alone for only a short period (thank god). I am going to tell my folks that I am feeling this way so they can at least offer something.

Tomorrow I will be alone for most of the day. I am afraid the urge may come back again. Can someone give me some coping mechanisms that will ward away these feelings?

Thanks,

Darkcaster
