From my experiences, the urge itself, comes and goes. But let me tell you - it does get easier. You just have to fight and endure and remember your coping good coping techniques. For me, what always stops me from relapsing is looking back at my old scars, and regretting them. I want to take them away so badly - they're just a constant reminder of the guilt and pain I've tried to release by inflicting them onto me. They only trigger me further, when I am reminded of why I cut in the first place... And they make me feel worthless and selfish and idiotic to have done that to MYSELF. I don't want more scars to come. I want to wear the clothes I want to wear, not keep myself hidden away like that. I'm 14 and have not cut in a year. It's addictive, but once your break that pattern you'll find yourself drawn away and disgusted by it more and more - thus keeping you from doing it.

Fight.
Thanks for this!
