Ok so, I haven't cut for 3-4 month now but lately I've been thinking about it every day. I'm thinking about the feeling wishing it more and more.
At first I was just telling myself not to do it but now it's becoming really hard to put my mind off of it.
And what is strage is that I feel good about my life now...I started with faculty, I like people there, I am living in another city and I like it. The only thing is that I am too stressed about exams, but I don't think it has anything to do with my need to cut again

I know I shouldn't do it, but I miss it so much right now and I need support from you guys bcause I don't have anyone to talk to about this, noone knows.

God, I know what it feels like to be stressed out about exams.
First of all, the fact you managed to stop makes you really strong and I congratulate you :)

Now you're kind of obsessed with cutting : don't panic.
When you've got too much anxiety or anger inside of you, it's a way to free yourself. But you know that it's a bad, a useless way, because it's temporary and then you need to start again and again and again... And your skin is lined with sorrow forever.

Well you'd better find a new way to really calm down : when you feel this urge to cut, just sit down here and breathe deeeply with your stomach (that's where stands the anxiety). Close your eyes. Think about all good things which happened to you these months (how lucky you are to study abroad ! :D).

I know this piece of advice sounds easy to give, but what a pity to feel this urge now you could be happy !
I wish you all the best.

Think of other methods that don't involve self harm
Snap an elastic on your wrist. Do some brainstorming. Go excersize watch a movie...listen to music
I know its hard to stay clean but your on a better path now is it worth going backward instead of continuing forward
Think of the positives and what has prevented you from going backwards.
