I'm so sorry to hear that.

Hun, I've said this so many times to different people but making errors is all part of overcoming self-harm and it's true. You've gone so long without cutting and feelings of sadness are coming back and you instantly turn to something that used to be a part of you.

Three years is a LONG time and congratulations for you for keeping it up for so long! That is definitely something to be proud of :).

Judging by that long, I know you can resist cutting at those times where you really feel the urge to hurt yourself. If you're feeling down, why not talk to someone you trust or ring childline or another helpline where you can talk to a counsillor by phone without having face-to-face communication.

Hope everything works out soon <3

cheers and yea i do feel proud for going 3 years but i am one of those people that cant really talk to people wether by phone or face to face i find it really hard to open up unless its to people i dont know and i dont have to talk because i start stuttering and then i just give up trying to explain it all but at the moment its getting better and hopefully i can completely stop :)
