Get better from cutting? Well it's not easy, it's a one day at a time process...
Try coping tecniques like drawing on yourself with red pen, going for a run, reading, doing whatever else it is you like to do to keep your mind off it. Different things work for different people so if one thing dosn't work try another, and try replacing cutting with something else. If you don't want to go full cold turkey at first you can try replacing cutting with something less harmful like snapping a rubber band on yourself or putting ice on your skin... that really helped me when I was badly addicted and not hurting myself in some way just wasn't an option.
Did you try therapy? It helps if you have a good therapist too, and as I said before, just take things one day at a time, and feel free to rant out any and all urges here or if you have a therapist to them or to both if you want.
Hope this helps!
