Once again....

[Dan1990]

I had been cutting for six years when i managed to stop at the start of last year but due to recent circumstances i started to have really strong urges to start cutting again, ive managed to ignore them for a while but what ever i do the voice has been there just telling me to and last night i finally gave into the temptation, afterwards i felt really pathetic, worse than i was before and i dunno i just guess talking about it with someone might help, noone i know understands what im going through and my parents didnt want anything to do with it the last time telling me it was just a phase i was going through so i dont really have anyone to talk to

Welcome to the VT. I'm glad you decided to come here for your problem. This is the right place.

I'm very proud of you for quitting. I know that it's hard, but think of all the months wasted in which you decide not to. You quit for a whole year. Are you going to let it start all over again? If you have any problems, you can also squeeze ice cubes together. I know that it's hard. Just remember not to start the cycle over again.

This thread may also help you.

It was incredibly hard to stop but thats why i feel so bad about starting again, im hoping i can control the urges and stop again before it gets worse but im just not sure if ill be able to things have really just been spiralling out of control for me recently.

As stated by August I am also proud that you quit cutting earlier. i am sure you would be able to stop this time again. Please do not let it run for much time.

Well failed to stop myself cutting again, after so long i thought it would be easy not to but apparently not quite so easy as i thought. Not quite sure what im going to do now i really dont want to get back into old habits so to speak but it seems more and more appealing as time goes by.

the solution is to do anything but cut. see a counselor, yell at a random person on the internet, do push-ups, dump cold-water on your head, play video games, etc. anything but self harm.
