Back.

I've kinda been away for a couple months and i havent cut that entire time. But i just slipped up. I dont know why and i liked it and i want to do it again. Crap.
Why does this happen?
Its not fair!

sorry im just super frustrated and i dunno what to do.

Firstly, well done for going a couple of months. What made you want to slip up, has anything bad happened recently? It probably felt good because of going a while without it, remembering how it helps you feel better. Can you remember why you tried to stop in the first place? You know it's not a good coping mechanism, so is there anything else you can try, like holding ice or pinging an elastic band? Or just anyone you can call to talk about your feelings and what's going on?

Well done for going so long! I am sorry you slipped up but this doesn't mean you can't try again and maybe try go longer. You did amazing and it shows how strong you are. Do you know what caused you to slip up? If you can work on the reasons why you cut it might be easier to learn to fight the urges.
Take care

well doen for going so long, that's really great achievement. try to think of this as just a slip-up, not a return to SI (hard when you want to do it again i know). write a list of all the reasons you stopped in the first place. what made you cut this time, do you know? *hugs*

if i thought of it as just a slip up, then...its one big slip up.
life sucks.

but even if its one big slip up - its stilla slip up and then you wont feel so bad about it - as slip ups happen no matter the size - all the time you can tell yourself its a slip up - a blip - you will find extra strength to get back onto of things

okay wait that makes no sense to me now :S sorry maybe it does to you

[justbreathe:)]

i just dont know if i can come to terms with that :\

[TinkerDebs]
