Hey, think of lasting a week as an achievement =)
We dont mind you coming and talking to us we're here to support and help you as best as we can =) Instead of trying to go weeks and weeks at a time just try and make it one day longer, so say like 24 hours, then 48 and so on.

Any reason why you cut today? Maybe talking about it could help you to not do it. Anyway just try and distract yourself (easier said than done i know but) try the 15 minute thing were if you distract yourself for 15 minutes and the urge is still there then try another 15 =).

Try not to look at it as 'failing' look at it as slipping up

*hugs* sorry for the useless post

Heya there *cuddles you* Self harm free for a wekk is brilliant! You should be very proud of yourself. Im sorry to hear that you slipped up. Firstly please dont beat yourself up because you slipped up, slipping up is part of recovery we all have slip ups but it doesnt mean that you have failed and that you should give up on recovering. What i learnt form when i used to self harm is that beating yourself up and being to hard on yourself will only make things harder for you and could make things worse than what they are now.

I do understand that this is diffucult for you, but some how you need to try and draw a line under this slip up and work towards trying again, because the longer you dwell on this slip up the longer things wil lbe difficult for you. Do you know what it was that caused you to slip? Your not a pain at all. Thats what we are here for to support people. Please try and be gentle with yourself. Remember that this slip up doesnt mean that you back to square one. Try to keep yourself distracted as much as you can. This link has lots of distractions for you to try http://www.recoveryourlife.com/forum...ead.php?t=1403 i hope that this helps you and that things get better for you soon. We are all here for you you dont have to go through this on your own.

Take care best wishes Ian xxxxxx
