I keep trying to quit cutting...I keep relapsing.
I relapsed yesterday after a few months of being clean. I'm not looking for a pity party or anything I just need someone to talk to.
I can't talk to my friends here about it because as far as they're concerned, I quit cutting 3 years ago.
Please help

Congratulations on being clean for so long! You should be proud of yourself! I am proud of you! Even the strongest of us slip sometimes! I have gone months AND years before but sometimes I still do slip! You just have to take things one day at a time.

Every day is a new day with a new chance and a new beginning.
Just know that you are never alone in this! If you ever need somebody to talk to I am here! Take care of yourself and try not to be so hard on yourself!

One thing I have learned from my many relapses is that pride does not benefit me. If I'm too ashamed to tell my supporters what I am going through, wanting them to still think of me as the "strong one who quit harming herself", I am not helping them or me. They want to help, & I know it's hard to let them.
