am i strange? *possibly triggering*
I haven't self harmed for a year and 3 months now. I've had my down moments, but i've managed to pull through with the help from my boyfriend. Im just confused as to why I find my self now, sat with my old pair of nail scissors in my hand, wanting to do it again. I mean I don't feel down, I kind of just want to feel it again one more time, but im worried if i do it one more time, will it turn into more and more.
Advice?!

a year and three months is a great achievement. even though harming now wouldn't be giving up that time, it probably would make the urges start coming stronger and more frequently, and it would be too bad to be back living that way again... i would try my very best not to give in if i were you... "one more time" usually leads to a lot more...

Hey Lostlady,
You and your boyfriend have together performed something wonderful by keeping you clean for so long. The two of you can be extremely proud of this. As PassedExpectations said, "one more time" usually leads to a lot more. That is the motivation that I'd give you too, remember that you are on the right road and going the right way. If it's neccesary, you can PM me when things are still going wrong, you can always talk to me about the fear of relapse.
Hugs,
Crow

Heya,
you've done amazingly well staying free.
i don't think its weird at all, i know that feeling too. guess it comes from missing the feeling?
But i agree with others, keep fighting it because it can be so easy to slip back into it after saying 'just one more time'
Hugs!

...My smile's just the armour I built when I was alone...
There was some part of me that hurt so badly, that I wouldn't ever be able to forget it.
It faded but the memories could bring it back any second, keeping me in the moment.
It would never fully heal. I could never really be free. I could never really be fixed.
Now I just have to work out how to live whilst being broken.
I feel like I'm dying.

Amazing job on the 1 year and three months self-harm free. I do not think you are weird at all. When I go about a month without cutting even if I'm happy and nothing wrong I feel the need to cut because I miss the feeling. I know it's hard to stay self-harm free but just remember how far you have come and just take it one day at a time. If you ever need to talk just know I'm a pm away

15 months is a fantastic achievement, one to be proud of. And no I don't think it's weird either. I know when I've gone without for a while I want to do it to see if it gives that same feeling, or if I'm over it. However I would say try your damnest (which I know you will anyway) not to give into those feelings. It just opens up a whole lot of trouble and the cycle normally starts up again.
