Prior Cutters

I am a recovering self mutilator. I used to cut to feel the feelings that I actually worked very hard to numb. I was just wondering who else in this group are recovering from this aspect of depression?

i am trying to control my urge to cut. so far its been 2 months. i cut for different reasons, when im extremely anxious, depressed, paranoid, i cut to make these feelings go away. it helps a little, it seems like i focus on the act of cutting and the blood. i feel very little pain. cutting makes me feel numb---somewhat.

I use this quote every time I get.
"...we hurt ourselves on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside" -Girl, Interrupted.
I'm not recovering at this point, but I remember trying to. It's so hard. I always felt the pain but I never cared. When I wanted to stop I told myself I deserve it.
I haven't cut in about a week. The longest I've gone is a month. Maybe a little more.
It's hard, but defiantly possible to overcome. I just know it.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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...
