I think it was a mixture of both for me. To feel able to stop cutting, I had to feel happier. But to feel happier overall, I had to be able to stop cutting. I had to have control over it. I had to have control over my body. I had to feel confident within myself.
I know that my friends made me feel better within myself, then a few weeks later, I realised that I hadn't cut and felt generally better. SO the two kinda worked together, I think.
