Relapsing
 

I cut three times in the last two days. I was 6 months free, and I can't pass this time off as a slip up, because it happened 3 times. Gah :-(

Just a rant, don't really expect replies, but some hugs might be nice?

*hugs*
Please don't forget that you went 6 MONTHS! That really is a fantastic achievement so please keep this in mind.
You did it once, you can do it again.

We believe in you!
Stay strong and take care

Thank you, I'll try to remember that, but I went the 6 months for other people, it wasn't for me. I have no other coping methods and eventually I just wasn't coping but couldn't deal with it.

Sometimes doing it for others isn't strong enough unfortunately.
I've done this before, for my friends but i ended up relapsing pretty bad.
I think that in order to stop, you have to want to.

Have you tried any distractions? You could try the RYL arcade, talk to a friend, listen to some music, go for a walk, try to relax etc?
With coping strategies, its all about trial and error. What works for some might not work for others.
I use dancing and drawing as a strategy whereas you may not find that appealing so may prefer to write.
You could make a list in case you need them - of both distractions and strategies.

PM me or add me on msn if you ever need to talk, rant...whatever :)
