Don't cave now. 2 weeks is really good. Your dad doesn't want you to. If you do your dads going to take you home, away from your friends if your do? It's not worth it is it? what you do is not cut. give us a pm if you need it.

Bella,
2 weeks is really good, I'd be proud if I were you.
Whilst trying to stop cutting everybody gets urges and it's very hard to stop the addiction. But you have to help your self, I understand it's awful, when your not cutting, your thinking about doing it, it is horrible but you need to force yourself to think positive, keep thinking about how long you've gone, you don't want to ruin that now, who would? You can do allsorts to keep your mind off it, I know it might not seem the same, but eventually it may work. Try the elastic band theory, it worked to an extent for me when you get the urge just twang the elastic band on your wrist, I'll admit it's not the same but it works a little. Or go for a jog, it's supposed to release the same sorta thing that cutting does. You could draw, write or listen to music. Anything other than caving. But if you do, know that its not the end of the world, you just have to keep motivated and pick yourself back up.

Each urge you fight and don't cut the stronger you will become to the next urge. Just remember how good two weeks is, you must have a bit of happiness in you that you've gone that long.

If you ever get the urge and just need to vent to anyone, feel free to PM me, or even if you just want to chat, I'm here.

Good luck and stay strong!

If you dont fight the urge then you will cave. You need to fight.

Seriously, fight your hardest. You are stronger than the blade. You threw it out for a reason. Your future will be bleak if you give in every time you want to self harm. Quiting is not easy. To be successful then you must keep on track. 2 weeks is very well but it will count as nothing if you give into temptation.

You have friends and a father who care about you. If you cant do it for yourself then do it for them. You are very lucky to have them so make them proud. Dont be weak. Come on, you know that if you try hard enough you will beat self harm. Because it is beatable. People can quit and never turn back. Its only the brave, the mighty and the courageous who do. You can be one of them.

If you need to self harm then take a minute to think.
Why do i want to self harm right now?
After self harming how will i feel?
Who will i have let down?
Was it worth it?
Would i do it again?

The answer will always be no. There is no good reason to harm yourself. Right now you feel the urge but when that scar appears or when you look your friends and father in the eye you will be disappointed, ashamed and disgusted of yourself for doing it. Its not only causing you harm - its causing them harm too.

Resist Temptation Now

Because next time, if you dont, it will be even harder to resist.

Two weeks is amazing. Don't cave. Whats more important, your friends, or a fake buzz from a razor? Your stronger than the blade. Don't lose your family and friends over something thats pretending to be your best friend.
Good luck (:
