Ok so its been a week, and im trying to get to two weeks because my record is 12 days so i want to beat it, but i still feel.. like i know i will fail.
That i know full well i will cut the minute i get to 14days..
I need to convince myself that i want to stop, because right now i dont, i just want to make it to the two week mark to prove to myself i can do it.
So yeah. My question to all of you that are trying to stop do you feel like you will self harm again? Or like you are determined not to? i dont know.
Thanks :)

I want to say I understand, but I only half do. I really, really want to cut. And I don't even care about how much trouble I'll be in. But I also don't want to be stuck with this. I'm already getting weird side effects from not cutting. Or at least, I hope it's from not cutting.
But just because you'll cut the minute you reach day fourteen only means you slipped up. Pick yourself up and go to 21 days. Then 28. And just try and do it one week at a time until the day comes where you just forget about "Oh, I need to cut today." That's my plan, at least!

You dont know that you will 100% fail, if you look at it that way your more likley to, I've been in that frame of mind loads of times.
I know its difficult but you need to keep a positive outlook on things, you have a target you want to reach and I know you can get to it, but why not set yourself another one straight after, see if you can get to 3 weeks.
You'll regret it if you cut again after you make it 14 days (which is really good).
And to answer your question, yes, all the time, I get to just before a week and I know its gonna happen, but I think it helps if you keep a postive outlook on it, and be proud of yourself for making it so far.
Hope this helps anyway
