Hi. I've been cut free for most of 4 years, but the problems that made me start never really stopped - actually, they've been getting much, much worse lately - but my coping skills and support network did get better. However, since about 1 month ago, i cant stop thinking about it, when i wash my hands i just kind of stare at my wrists, ill be at school writing and suddenly get a flood of the memories, of the blood slowly dripping down my hands and legs (you can tell the memories are vivid) and i'll end up sitting there stroking my wrists, i cant stop seeing how prominent the veins are, basically its constantly on my mind. That isn't to say I've been free from self harm, i keep scratching wounds onto my arms and legs, and not letting them heal. Please, give me some advice, someone to talk to, i need some help.

I don't know what to really say, cutting is a vicious cycle.

Reading some of that reminded me of when I cut for my first (and last) time, every time I, too, looked at my wrists I would see the scars and it caused me pain every time. Now that I haven't cut for over 2 years, I still think about cutting whenever I'm really hurt.

If you would like, you can PM me if you want to chat or just ask questions.

Hey I'm sorry you feel like that. I know how hard it is to stop cutting, even when you don't cut for months or years every time sth happens that hurt you or make you angry you still think about cutting...I think we all more or less feel like this.
What is important is to have at least one person who knows and who will help you get through those moments.

Also, fixing those issues that makes you wanna cut would be the best thing. Is it possible for you to fix those things? If you wanna talk about anything feel free to write here or send me a VM (cause you dont have enough posts for PM).
