TW//SH Anyone else get the random intrusive urge to self harm? Like nothing is really going wrong, nothing triggers it, you're not upset about anything in particular... But there's that sudden nagging itch to just do it. Your brain trying to convince you that there's no real reason *not* to. What would happen? The worst case scenario would just be that you get committed. What's so wrong about that? Free food, free bed, free meds, maybe make some new ~mentally spicy~ friends. It's really hard to fight it when my brain is telling me that nothing could actually go wrong. I know what *could* go wrong. I know what *might* happen. I know that I shouldn't want to because there's not really any excuse for me to do it, but I want to anyway... I want to just because I want to do it just so I can say that I did. I've been clean for 8 years and you'd think that's so great and I must be put together enough to not have this issue, but every single year that I'm clean seems to be getting harder and harder to stay that way... Idk... TLDR; Does anyone else get random & severe urges to self harm for no reason? If you do, how do you deal with it?

I do every single day so far. The only reason I don't do it is because I believe that there will be a time in the future were I'm am needed for something, like helping somebody. Idk, the only way I value myself is through helping people.

Hii I’ve been having a similar problem I self harm by over using and going on benders I always figure if ODing is the worst that will happen that’s not so bad. I get the urge a lot and I can’t say exactly how I refrain, since I don’t always. Usually I’ll make a tether yk how my mom would feel, how I should do better for myself for younger me, how to be the stability I desire. I know it’s easy to convince ourselves there’s never really any real consequence, but we’ve got to create an out for ourselves to get out of the cycle, to be better for that child in yourself we’re torturing now.
