From experience, I know that I turned to cutting after when I lost control. My thoughts went crazy. I'd begin to imagine situations that didn't happen and thought that no one was there for me. My emotions/feelings was what usually tipped me over. I would be sad and have this burning anger that seemed to just explode. I needed a release and at the time I turned to cutting because it seemed like the only answer - the only thing that I could use as a release. When you lose control, or start to think things are going to shit, your mind is going to act on those negative thoughts and start throwing in more negative thoughts and even negative emotions. Its very easy to do this if you're sitting in your room or in a situation where you can get caught up in your mind. My advice? Go for a run, do something exciting, get your blood pumping. Do anything to keep you away from places you may feel tempted to cut. I know it sounds cliche, but it helps to release endorphins as well as some of the pressure on your mind. Sorry about the length of this, but I hope this helps you a little. Also feel free to message me if you need anything else :)
