Im going to therapy now and Im seeing a psychiatrist
 
I think its starting to help me out. I told my Psychiatrist and Therapist that Ive been cutting but they didnt really react to it. I know that cutting is something that I need to stop on my own. I just thought it was kind of weird that they never told me to stop or even talk about how bad cutting can be.
Is this normal?
I cut myself last month for the first time in years.
Now Im not really sure if I want to stop again :(
But I know that I need to.

It's great you're getting help! That's a wonderful start :) I would find it a bit odd that they didn't mention anything about the seriousness of cutting though... that's always been the focal point of my past experiences. It may be something they want to think about before talking with you about it though.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time with wanting to stop cutting :( It's so difficult to get past SI. But it's a good thing it's something you haven't done in years. That ensures that you will be able to go longer next time. It is always possible to recover- and you'll never be alone in this. I really hope you're doing alright... have you done anything to get your mind off cutting?

Don't hesitate to send a PM if you ever want to talk :)

*hugs and love*

You don't need to stop cutting on your own, they are there to help you. But it does have to be your decision to stop, otherwise you won't. So I guess they don't bother lecturing you on how bad it is cause you probably already know, and until you feel ready to quit, they probably won't have much influence.x
