how do I prevent the inevitable?

Why can't I stop? Why is it so unavoidable? I wake up every morning saying, "I won't cut today." and know that I'm lying to myself, why can't I keep my promises?:notsure:

Because you're not God.
We humans do what we're capable of.

That's so, so true.

I don't think you are lying to yourself, it's just maybe now isn't the right time for you to give up self-harming. You have to be really ready to give up self harming and you need the right support.
Do you have anyone you can talk to about this? Such as a family member, friend or GP. I think you would really benefit from getting some help as it seems you want to stop but just don't have the right kind of help you need.
