Self-Injury Support Group
Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.
It's been almost a year (August) since I've cut. That's when my new boyfriend came in to my life. He's still here, and we're going strong. He stopped me from cutting, numerous times, and he's what helped me kick the addiction all together. However, lately, it just feels like It's all I want to go back to. It's actually really scary. I just hate to think what he might feel like, after I gave him so much praise because he's the one who finally helped me through. It isn't like I WANT to start again, but God it's so hard sometimes. What do I do? :/
Personally, I wasn't as strong as you and I went back to it about 6 months after my boyfriend first helped me stop (he never knew, but his attention and love helped me through it) and now I've told him everything and he's helping me through it ever day. So if your honest with yourself and with him the only option he has is to help you through those urges again. I hope this helps, message me if you wanna talk more.
Having someone to lean on (such as a boyfriend) is a great way to get over self injury, but you should only want to give it up for yourself. You need to want to help yourself thoroughly, otherwise you'll fall back into it when these people aren't around to help you.
