Does it ever get easier, really?

[1_21Guns]

When you've stopped, for like ages, is it ever easier? Does it ever get easier?
Most ive got to i think is 49 days, and i still relapsed, now im only at 4 and nothing seems different.
I dont really get urges so much anyway, but when i do they're bad.
Its just never going to go is it?
Everytime something goes wrong, im always going to feel like hacking myself to pieces.
Im still waiting for all the bottling up to hit me properly. Or maybe its just gonna hit me next time something goes wrong.
All i know is im going to be in such a state sooner or later >.>
ugh....

i know how it feels, up until tonight i was about a month into stopping, but that all messed up so easily, i honestly think that i will still be in the same position in years to come, but whilst i never cared about myself, i hate it when other people do this, i cant give the best advice ever, but i can just say this, chin up and dont let life get to you, easier said than done, believe me i know, but if you can go for 49 days, then you can keep trying for longer

I believe this is a battle you'll be fighting everyday, for the rest of your life. But it will get easier. The urges will get less and less frequent. You'll start to go days and even weeks without thinking about cutting. It will get easier.

It's always an uphill battle, but once you're finally able to get over the 'hump' so-to speak, it gets a lot easier. Once I stopped counting days, it became a lot easier since the obsessive part of it was no longer there to nag at me. Don't let everything bottle up, otherwise you're going to get the snowball effect; It gets harder and harder to deal with until it's too late and you can't catch it.

As the other have said it will eventually get easier, it just takes time
It took me over 8 months to finally stop, and it is a constant up hill struggle, but if you really want it you'll get there in the end, even if you have a few set backs
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk

I am up to 385 days. I count. Its over a year. It was hard through the first couple months. But, after I stopped thinking about it ALL the time, I found it easier. I don't think about it daily and if I start to consider it, I know its then time to get help from the people I love and love me.

It will get easier one day, but is always a struggle.
