That's the hard part about stopping and relapsing. It's hard to stop but its possible, when you're thinking about why you started try thinking about why you want to stop. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here.

As someone who has stopped, it's possible. I'm not saying it's super easy, but it's doable. For me, it took a great group of friends and family, a strong determination and decision to stop, methods of reward for not self-harming, and time. It takes time. I'm at 1300 some days now. Do I still think about it? Yes. Do I still really want to do it? No. I never want to go back.

Though it's hard to see now, there is a life without it in the future. You can get there. Don't give up on it.

That's what's scary about cutting. It will never let you go. Even when you're like Atonement, you still think about it. He doesn't want to do it, but it will always be on your mind. That's why it's something that nobody should ever get into, because once you're in it's hard to get out of. When you start to think about why you started, start thinking about all the reasons that you want to stop. Think about the friends and family that this is hurting. Think about how it's hurting yourself as well. You don't want to do this forever do you? So remember that, and remember that it's not worth doing in the long run. You're hurting yourself more and more. Also, try the butterfly project. It's what's been helping me to quit lately. Basically, you draw a butterfly on your skin, and name it after someone you love or someone that loves you. If you cut, the butterfly dies, if you don't then it lives. Simple. Hopefully all goes well for you, I wish you the best of luck :) If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Just wall me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
