Starting again
 

I had stopped cutting for over half a year before going to college. Since I have started cutting again. It started with just one cut and then a couple weeks later I started cutting alot. I cut 7 times yesterday alone and I wasn't upset, just bored. Today me and my roommate got into a kinda fight and I've cut myself 4 times in a time period of minutes. I need advice to go forward and some help remembering why I cut to begin with. Honestly I love the cuts they make me feel stronger better like I belong to a community, I look at them several times a day. Any advice would be helpful or atleast a hug it's been a wierd day.

Hey there, it sounds like things are quite difficult for you right now. I'm wondering if you have any support round you at the moment? Friends or family etc. It can really help to talk to someone about how you're feeling, even if it's just a distraction.

Have you tried any distractions? There are many here which could really help you, especially if you are harming when you are bored.

With finding why you harm in the first place, perhaps you could write down exactly how you are feeling just before an urge or when you are harming? This can help pin point your emotions and maybe lead you closer to an answer.

Take care x
