I think that night is a hard time for a lot of us who struggle with SI... I have no idea why, though.
Stay strong, lovely <3 keep fighting the urge. Do anything you can to distract yourself. Call a friend? Or if you ever want to talk... my msn is kiss.the.violets@hotmail.com
My therapist once suggested, when you're feeling like you want to self-harm in any way, fill a bucket or a big bowl with ice and water. Put your hands in it. It is definitely distracting... it hurts like a bitch, but you won't have scars. And afterwards, your hands are too f*cking cold to do much anyway.
Just make sure not to keep them in the water *too* long. Hypothermia, you know...
