I broke...

[gamerguy13]

I made a promise with my therapist that I wouldn't cut but I just did and it was 25-30 cuts what do I do? If I tell my therapist I will be sent to a clinic for half a year, help me what should I do??

Don't worry. it is normal to relapse. Though i have never had experience with a therapist, i believe you should tell him/her. A promise to not self harm rarely works properly.

Do you know why you cut today? Knowing that should help you not do it again. what where you doing to not cut before this(if anything)?

Relapse is normal and I know clinic sounds scary but I'm sure it's not so bad, it might help you more than you think, try not to panic yourself you'll just end up wanting to hurt yourself more, you're stronger than this come on :hug3:

like castle of glass said promises to self harm rarely work trust me but your therapist will understand i'm in a similar situation and its not easy but relapse is normal and just try not to panic hide your blades from yourself and don't think about what is making you hurt yourself

Even if you're scared of the outcome, always tell them. Always. It is their job to help you and they aren't going to judge you, sure you relapsed, it happens. Just pick yourself back up and keep working at it. Promises will only work if they actually mean something to you deep down, if they don't, don't promise. Promises with self harm are always messy. Tell your therapist, let them help you.

You can't promise to never self harm again. All you can do is promise to try going as long as you can without a relapse. It comes in stages. Hopefully eventually after many relapses further and further apart, it becomes permanent. I'm very surprised the therapist worked out a deal like that with you. A clinic sounds scary, but if that is what is best for you then you should be there. But I think he was bluffing.

id tell her just b honest therapist r ppl that r there for us to trust ask if if maybe u coukd try not to instead of promising cuz that puts way to much preasure on u to keep that
