I was doing so well... it'd probably be 3 months since the last time I cut. Something like that - I didn't keep track of the date.
Anyway, over summer I was away for awhile, distracted from my 'issues' and with little responsibility. Now I'm back home, trying to get a job or some income no matter how little. So I have responsibilities, to do lists, etc.
And I'm back in therapy. And therapy is getting close to the hard stuff that triggers me. So I'm getting triggered every week at therapy. I've cut twice in the last week. And I feel like I don't care. Which means I'm likely to do it again. and again. I usually have a strong enough will to keep myself from acting on urges but the will seems to be deteriorating.
My therapist says the depression is me shutting down because part of me is overwhelmed and is trying to protect me from whatever by making me unable to do anything. IDK. I just hate being depressed and hate struggling with cutting.

sometimes i would prefer just give in with the urge and go on with my life.
the goals is, get over the addiction, in the meaning that : waste the fewest time for SI.
Don't know will anyone agree with me..
