Feeling like Im gonna slip...

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

I hmm about 2-3 weeks ago stopped cutting... Just my girlfriend said somethings and yeah, basically it was a total punch to the gut and a wake up call and basically thank god she said what she said. Just the problem is now I feel like Im slipping bad and gonna cut again. I still dont have a way to cope really and cutting was that thing, just how can keep from slipping and cutting again!

I've found that having someone to talk to about whatever it is making you want to cut can really help. It helps for me at least. kinda puts everything into a new light to talk about it, and makes it seem a little better. Or sometimes if I don't have anyone to talk to at the moment, I'll start drawing and I tend to get lost in my drawings until the urges pass. I used to go for a run whenever I wanted to cut, too. I'm not sure exactly why that helps, but it does.

That being said, feel free to pm me if you need to talk!! I'd be more than willing to do my best to help you out :)

I got my girlfriend to talk to and shes the reason I stopped cutting and I could try occupying myself when I want to cut. Thanks Melissa :)

You can't stop cutting for her. She can help you, but you shouldn't be doing it for her sake. You should be stopping because you want to; so you can get better. What if the two of you aren't together in the future? Then there's the possibility that you'd have no reason for not cutting, and you could start again.
Talk to her about everything, though. Tell her how you're feeling and coping with everything, and let her help you. But don't stop for her. Stop for yourself, because in the end, you are the only person you can depend on 100%.

I agree with what everyone has said.

Usually it helps me to confide in my friend, and it seems like you have that with your girlfriend. But some other things would be reading a book, listening to music, taking a really cold shower, snapping a rubber band rather than cutting, drawing, running, playing the piano, sitting in the dark etc, really anything to try and occupy myself and get my mind off it. Oh and sleeping, which only works sometimes because if you get nightmares or can't sleep it doesn't really help.

If you ever need anybody else to talk to, you can message me. And I agree with what Steven said about being careful how much you rely on your girlfriend to a point- a few months after my boyfriend of 2+ years and I broke up (this was a few years ago at this point) I started cutting again because he wasn't there to notice and tell me not to, and it took me awhile before I confided in anyone else. But its great that you can talk to her regardless of what the future holds, because I know when you have an urge you're usually not thinking about the future. Best of luck to you :)
