Feeling like I want to cut my limbs off

[Untimely]

Does anyone get this feeling? It seems to happen to me multiple times per day

 

[iloverachel]

That sounds very painful.
The only reason I think I would want to cut some of my limbs off is that it would probably give me enough motivation to CTB. But then again losing limbs will make CTB much harder

 

[QueerMelancholy]

I do occasionally but only because I feel like my body should show how damaged my brain is.

Yeah that makes sense. It's just a feeling I have that I hate myself so much. Idk if that makes sense really

In some sense.

I don't have spontaneous thoughts about cutting off my limbs.

But sometimes I wonder what would happen if I jumped off a bridge right now or threw myself in front of an oncoming car.
Of course I won't do that.

These types of thoughts have a name, but I forget the definition at the moment.

Relatively many people have such thoughts.
It does not always have to involve the end of life.
Sometimes you can simply think this way, for example about throwing away your smartphone. Or anything else.

Yeah that's an intrusive thought. It's less of a what if more like I want to do it, if that makes sense

Hi! I speak Spanish, translate me. <3

Perdón, no sé hablar bien inglés. Lo intento.

Te entiendo, es una sensación que suelo tener a menudo, algunas veces más que otras. Usualmente cuando estoy muy enojada conmigo, tengo problemas para controlar impulsos agresivos hacia mí.
¿Es como un impulso que no puedes controlar o es un pensamiento que te agrede?

Es una oportunidad para practicar mi español. Pienso que es un impulso que puedo controlar, pero es un pensamiento que me duele mucho

Me alegra que sirva de oportunidad. Escribes bien en español. ^^

Comprendo que duela bastante.
Entonces, por lo que leo, no lo has hecho todavía. Es el pensamiento de hacerlo lo que te duele tanto, ¿no?
¿Quieres algún consejo o solo necesitabas compañía?

creo que hay mucha sabiduría en tus mensajes, así que he tratado de traducirlas al inglés :)

Excuse me, I don't know how to speak English well. I try to.

I understand you, it's a sensation that I tend to have often, some times more than other times. Usually when I'm very annoyed with myself, I have problems with controlling aggressive impulses towards myself.
Is it like an impulse that you can't control or is it a thought that attacks you?

second post from the same user:
I'm glad that it's an opportunity. You write in Spanish well.

I understand that it hurts quite a bit.
Then, from what I read, you haven't done it yet. Is the thought of doing it what hurts you so much?
Do you want some advice or did you only need company?

untimely's second post:
thanks, I don't need advice, just company. i was curious to see ifother people also thought this way.

third post:
then i hope that you have felt accompanied. if you feel curioisity and you have some question with respect to that, I'll be here.

I don't have this feeling but I've heard of "Body Integrity Disphoria" (formerly known as "Body Integrity Identity Disorder.")
People with this condition can have an urge to cut their limbs off, and sometimes seek amputation.

That's actually pretty interesting, thanks for sharing that. It's more of a self harm thing than this wiki article describes, but it's interesting
