I did not purposely cut my skin for a little over a year up until early last week. Throughout that week and up to today, It's gotten worse and cuts have gotten deeper. I don't know what exactly triggered this relapse, but I feel very overwhelmed and angry at myself. Does anyone have any advice? Please help.

Main thing is don't get too upset with yourself over it, IT happens, and yes it sucks but it's all part of the healing process.

You managed to get over a year, So just remember that you've done it before and you can do it again. Keep remember that you managed it once. So it can't be that hard to do again right?

Just gotta get yourself off the track of self harming and onto the healthy track again, Whatever different coping mechanism you might have found.

Sorry to hear you relapsed *cuddles*

Best thing you can do, is just try, that's all you can do, is try your best to stop again, remember you did it once, that proves your strong, stronger than me, I recently (well, a few more the back) relapsed after a year (ish) free, I know how crappy it feels, but don't hate yourself, this is all part of the healing process.

And if it gets to bad again, don't be afraid too reach out for help.

Good luck :)
