I gave in:(

After all the highs I experienced last week, the feeling of how good it was not to cut, yesterday I gave in.
I thought that cutting would take away the emptiness, the feeling of wanting to die, but instead it made it worse.
How do we stop the vicious circle?

Do you go to therapy? If not that would help. What about your meds, that could come to play apart.

I gave up therapy last year after a really awful therapist gave me some bad advice. I know I should go back but I just can't bring myself to do it.
I thought my meds were working, but now I'm not so sure I'm going to see my doctor soon, should I tell him about the cutting? I'm never sure in case he thinks i'm more crazy than I am :(

thearpy deffinatly helps. The vicious cycle will never end unless you choose not to cut and help that cycle. Try not to cut and let talk to people thats why we are all here =)

yea make sure you tell your doctor abou tthe cutting and try to get a theripist back I know that would be hard if your earlier one hurt but they arent all the same so give it a try.
