It has been 3 years with no cutting and today was my downfall. I never forgot how great the relief is that I get from cutting, but I tried to put it behind me and failed. I’ll admit this time I was scared, the cut was deeper than in the past and I had almost forgotten what to do. I don’t know what prompted me to cut again, maybe it was having to deal with some innate skeletons from my past that got stirred up in a counseling session, or maybe it was that my life is spiraling out of control. All I know is if I hadn’t cut I might have ended it all together. Just needed to release the pent up pain.

I hear the words downfall and fail. You just had a little relapse. Relapses are okay, sometimes you have no other way of getting rid of the feelings inside you. However the longer you go filling your life with other things the less likely you are to relapse. So maybe you’ll go four or five years this time until your next relapse – One day at a time.
Good luck!
