ok..I'm not saying go ahead and do it but....
I'm currently not trying to quit...I just can't ...there's too much going on.
So...what I'm trying to do...is deal with what life has thrown at me...get help with past issues and eventually work away from SI, but only after I've dealt with everything else.....
So try to deal with why you want to SI!

Also limit yourself on the damage.... so that you make sure you stay safe and that it doesn't get worse...

remember SI is a coping mechanism...a messed up one ;) ...but one nonetheless...and until you can deal with whatever is stressing you out and learn knew ways to cope...fighting the urge will be very difficult..

sorry I rambled a bit there....heh
I hope you're getting help and are trying to work through whatever is bothering you!! *hugs*

stay strong!!! cutting may feel good and help you now..But what is it going to do for you in the long run? Cutting is always going to be hard if we don't learn something positive to replace it. We cut because we don't know how else to deal with our emotions. If we find a positive way to deal with them we will feel the need to cut not as strong. You have made it this far..You can do it!! Self Harm will never bring anything good to you if you really think about it..
It's not an easy road to heal..but it's well and truly worth it!! Reclaim your life..Don't live your life ruled by self harm..You may think you are in control by self harming, truth is self harm controls you. You need to be in control of you!!
