so i went out of town which meant i could buy anything without anyone that knows me finding out about it(live in a really small town). I haven't cut in 22 days and my counselor suggested getting something for the scars so i did. I bought Scar Zone. After that I wandered around the mall and tried to distract myself and it worked. I wanted to cut so badly last night and I still do but at the same time I'm determined to get past this. But i ended up getting more time to shop and so i wound up buying razors, bandages, and polysporin. If i do start cutting again I'm more prepared than ever. Argh I shouldn't but i don't know if i can function properly if i can't get this want to cut out of my mind. Any help here?

Another thing that helped me was using scar cream on a regular basis. To me, it seemed like a waste of time/money to apply the cream if I was just going to create more scars. I used scar zone for a while, but actually I found that mederma (though more expensive) worked a lot better. Good luck! ~Tracie xoxoxox
