when you feel you need to cut do something else snap your wrist with a rubber band write a long angry journal entry scream and scream until your lungs hurt (preferably into your pillow so your neighbors don't call the police) do kick boxing run and run till your exhausted talk to your friend until they're sick of listening do something to get rid of that stress smash a canvas and smear paint on it play an angry guitar song sing as loud as you can to your favorite song and dance around crazy. and after you've worn your self out go have a talk to your therapist

Only you would know if the help you are getting is helping you. I don't think you're crazy though. I have self-harmed for 15 years, although my cutting has been reduced to only a couple of times a year. I have been through a lot of counseling and have a wonderful husband who has really helped me. I think the main thing that helps though is when I get really bad I have emergency medication that I can take. I take Zyprexa 2.5mg and it works really well (works for panic attacks too). I'm not saying that you should take medication, I just know from experience that medication can help regulate the mood fluctuations that can lead to cutting.

You are not crazy. To just cant process or handle or feel whats going on right now. You say you are getting help and that's good. When you go to your next apt tell them that you have been cutting again...tell them way you decided to cut again or what you were or not feeling before, during and after. They are going to ask you all those questions so if you have to write it down do so. See if you can get an apt sooner rather than later otherwise you may change your mind about telling them whats going on or you may not remember all the details they need to ask you about.
