hi guys, wasn't sure where to put this so i thought here would be best place.

here's the thing. i've had a messed up life so far and really dont know what to do anymore. it started with cutting when i was 14, didn't really know what i was doing. then it got worse, i've self harmed most of my life and even attempted suicide more than once and suffer the scars from it over my body.

when it came to finding a job i knew i had to stop. try get myself together. After two years of working happily and not cutting i can feel myself really starting to slip again (badly)

help! i dont know what to do :( xx

Try and stay focused and remain positive
Continue with your hard work and look forward to greater accomplishments
Push yourself to stay clean and not give in to temptation
Don't cut yourself you've done so well in keeping a clean slate
Think of ways to distract yourself... Maybe even get councelling(it worked for me)
Get some help if you are feeling like cutting yourself
Deep down inside your strong.... You just need to keep that showing :)
Best of luck :)

Focus on what you have achieved. You got a job when you weren't cutting. That's really good.
Do something that is a similar release to cutting, eg exercising, having a bath, writing a diary, or going out and getting fresh air.
Focus on the good things in your life.
