I'm not sure if this helps and before I say it I want to tell you that I am struggling with doing this, but I do believe that it will help.
First, at least with my experience you won't stop until you decide that you are willing to see if you can get through whatever it is w/o cutting. Every circumstance is different so and that is what I am really learning. It's not that black and white. There are times when something triggers me and I find myself being able to use some of the tools I have and other times when I can't.

In one sentence you are saying that you really do want to cut - and the next is it never lasts. So, can you talk to your therapist about the confussion that is going on. I am just talking from experience - I already thought I was going to fail so I never wanted to admit that I was tired of hurting myself.

I'm still afraid, but it's taking it once situation at a time and looking at what really triggers me. IT'S TOUGH STUFF!!!
Thanks for this!
