Alright so on Wednesday after 6 long months I relapsed, I couldn't take it just so much stress and bottling everything up inside I cracked. I can't let anyone know they all think I'm fine and happy. I was stupid and cut my wrists too and it's summer I can't hide them, if I start wearing long sleeves everyone will find out. I'm such a fucking failure that I can't even stop myself from cutting, six fucking months for nothing, now my family will find out and so will my friends. I can't take them being mad at me they mean well and they're supportive but they'll still be very mad, idk what to do. I just wish I would've gone too far so I wouldn't have to endur this shit.

It wasn't for nothing. You made progress in those months, believe it or not. You're not a failure. Think of it as an accomplishment. Let them help you, you will eventually feel a lot better.

Coming from me, this is going to be hypocritical. But try again. If you had enough strength to do it for 6 months, maybe this time you'll have enough strength to do it for 6 1/2 months. Or even better, 7 months. Just try again. You can do it.
Stay strong, never surrender, and good luck.

DS, 6 months is a huge accomplishment. Sure u failed but everyone at one point pretty much does. The problem i see is u kept everything bottled up which WILL end in failure. you need a healthy way of getting your emotions out. anything that u have fun doing will be a great way. try art or music. whenever i get the feeling to cut i go and draw. and because of it over 6 years of art i consider myself pretty decent. not professional but im happy with my work. I don't condone hiding it but maybe get like a band bracelet from like hottopic or something and wear it over the cuts if ur worried about people seeing

6 months is amazing! Even if you relapsed, that doesn't mean it was all for nothing. If you were able to keep it up for six months, you definitely had control. Instead of thinking of it as a broken streak, think of it as an accomplishment that you want to be able to out due. But if you have no way of getting your emotions out, then this is bound to happen again. Like Travis said, try to do other things that you enjoy.
Good Luck :bounce:

6 months is a very very impressive time. If/when your friends and family find out, just be honest with them, lying wont help you. x if you tell them how hard youve tried, and your sorry. they should be supportive and forgiving. x

As everyone has said, youre not a failure. Failure is just an early attempt at success. Six months is very good and you should be proud.
As xktx said, be truthful. Lying never got anyone anywhere. Also, never give up hope. You did a very tough thing and you didnt fail you just had a lower success level than you wanted.
I put this on all my posts because I mean it with my heart: You have plenty of people on here who are more than happy to help you. If all you need is someone to listen, I'm here. My email is under my contact info and feel free to click it any time.
