I am wanting to self harm again. I have gone for over 12 weeks without wanting to and now I want to so bad. This past week has been not good, and I even took work off today, which I don't usually do. Now all I want to do is to saelf harm in one way or another.

You have to stay strong and keep focused on why you stopped in the first place. Just like any other addiction, you will go through a time when you will want nothing else than to just feel the pleasure you used to feel. But remember the ups you had without needing to cut yourself...I know you can be strong and stay focused.

Just think of how long you've went without hurting yourself and how you have to start all over again if you do.
When I'm trying not to hurt myself I think of how the addiction might come back and overcome me again. It made me feel so helpless.
Be strong!
Hope I helped some hun. :)
