You say "Back to square one"... I'm taking this as you used to cut, stopped, and now are doing it again.

Well, listen to me. You're NOT back to square one. You still haven't bought a razor, and you know what? You can throw that needle out. You never have to see it again. Think of all the pain, all the negativity you had when you used to cut. Now thing of the good things, all the positivity that came when you stopped. Focus on that positive feeling as you discard the needle, and with it, all the thoughts and enery that make you cut, forever. When you throw the needle away, with it, you're getting rid of the sadness, getting rid of the emotions and getting rid of the urge. Remind yourself of this as you are discarding it. Allow the positivity to slowly but surely take you back to the good life, and stay there.

Listen to what the poster above me said because he's right, you're not back to square one. I'm aware that it's hard not to cut and I'm glad that you're trying really hard not to buy a razor. Cutting is not going to benefit you, it might make you feel temporarily better but it will only make things worse. Remember the reasons why you stopped cutting before and keep them in mind. It might be good if you can try to distract yourself so you stop thinking about cutting but I'm aware it's not easy. There is something in the self harm forum and I think it's entitled 'Welcome to cutting and self harm - read before self harm' and you may find this useful as it lists things you could do before self harm that may help you. you may find writing helps you. If you write you're feelings down or maybe even draw pictures, you might find it helps you.

+rep for that. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I think this post sums up just about everything we need to tell you. You need to take control and tell you mind that you're not going to cut anymore.

What the first reply says is execlent, and its good that you haven't been out and brought a razor, and you havent made any serious cuts. So your not back to square one.
You've done well stopping cutting, and from experence its really not worth it starting again, even if it may seem like it now.
You can get rid of the needle now while you have the chance, and try to do things that take your mind off the bullying (I know its hard) and you wont feel tempted to cut.
PM me if you need to talk
