Phone them, or visit them, anything to occupy yourself aside from cutting.

Like others have said, don't be afraid to ask for extra help if you need it or put yourself and your health first. After all, it's so important you stay as well as possible.
When I'm stressed, it can help to talk to people close to me and relieve the burden a little. Also, setting aside some time to exercise, meditate and write in my diary regularly can help release some tension. Activities like reading and listening to music can provide distraction. They're such simple tools, and I'm sure you've heard this kind of thing so many times before, but they're just some ideas for you.
You do such great work here, CrackedGirl. I really hope you're feeling better soon, and in the meantime, of course you can always post on the forum about anything if it'd help you. Take care.

Good job holding back on the cutting...I know how overwhelming of a feeling it is to want to and not want to at the same time. I appreciate you here and hope that things settle for you soon. Take good care of yourself in the meantime.

You have been battered by events far from your control. The cruellest thing is that your abusers will not face justice and you will not see it done to them. How terrible that such things have escaped you. I don't know what to say but I can only tell you that I am thinking of you and bless you

You can see from the responses here that people on the forum care about you and love you.
That is amazing to me. I could sit on the bus beside a forum member and not know it but bare my soul to them here on the forum.
I have never experienced self harm so don't have any first hand understanding of the urge to cut yourself. But I know that it is a last ditch effort to find relief to stressors you may not even understand. Based on my experience with people that do cut, I know it happens when you are alone. Make a short list of people you love and trust who will support you when you feel the urge.

We care about how you are.
Stay in touch.
