We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of poker. Let’s take a look:
Question: Everytime I triggers like this and get angry I cut. It’s been like this for two years and I can’t find a better way to cope with anger. It’s like something takes over and I don’t think straight.
How do you cope with your triggers?
Answer: i always think "what is this going to do?"
because it does nothing..
i have scars on my arms and cant walk around without wearing something to cover my arms and it will be there to remind me of the past what is even more upsetting..
my friend got a tattoo on her arm and that has stopped her self harming..
also boxing is good to take your anger out on something else rather than yourself..

If you have been doing this for 2 years and still cant control it I suggest its time for
trained help..
You need a shrink…

You need professional help, they can help you learn to avoid the things that trigger your need to do the cutting. This cutting can lead to even more serious things, so get help ASAP.

I determine when it is right to do it or not, but I have too much pride in who I am to cut or mutilate myself. I usually go into the backyard and jump up and down to vent off the anger. I don’t hurt myself or others

i believe the term for this is borderline. it might really be a good idea to consider talking to a professional about this.

Control them.learn to do it. Do some other fun stuff, try to enjoy life, don’t ruin it.
Ask professional help, you really need them.
