It's ok, I think that's one of the most important things you need to hear right now, it's ok. We all fall back into our old ways sometimes it's difficult not to, but just remember how strong you were to overcome it in the first place. Try your best to find alternatives to cutting like walking, running, reading, gaming etc etc.

If there's any specific things that are making you want to cut getting them out of your system may help, VT is a great place to do that :)

You went quite a few months without it! Do you have any idea what some of us would give to get that far? Chin up, relapses happen. You haven't failed to quit until you pick yourself up after falling. Stay strong.

I totally understand about not wanting to disapoint people. once i told someone i'd quit and they were so happy and encouraging about it that i just kept up the lie so i didn't disapoint them. i felt really really bad in the end when the truth came out. i really think you should tell the person, they sound like they care about you. they'd probably want to know the truth so they can help you.
