Please help me - I want to cut again...

Someone tell me not to cut - I haven't cut myself in a month and a half. I have an overwelming urge to cut myself right now. I don't want to face what I'm going through. Cutting will take my mind off my emotional pain and put it into the physical. I can handle the physical pain. But I don't want to start again. I don't want these scars on my body.

Hey,
Stay strong...you can do it. Just sit there. Say to yourself 'I know I want to cut but I'm not. I am worth more than this.' I know how you feel. I am kinda the same right now but have cut more recently. Because you have been so brave, you owe it to yourself to carry on! I am thinking of you and here if you want to talk xxxxx Just an email away xxxxx

TRy not to cut. I have strted this and now can not stop. You have done so well to stop. Try to be strong. I think the ice cube idea sounds good. I am going to try it. Have others found that this has helped?
Try to love yourself and be strong.

Trust me it is not worth it to cut again, I stopped for about a year, and then started again, recently. I regret it and now I am worse than before, I feel as though I have to make up for lost time and I don't want to but I do it anyway. It is hard to stop and it is hard to not do it again once you have stopped. Stay strong, for yourself not for anyone else. I am here if you neeed me. As I am sure are many others that are in this community.

So far so good - no cutting! The urge is gone.

It just is horrid when the urge strikes - it's almost overwelming in it's intensity. But I got through it!

Thank you for everyones encouragement! I'm feeling so much better today.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
