It has been my experience that thoughts of cutting persist long after you stop doing it, sometimes even if you feel better and are not depressed (same goes for suicidal ideation - it takes a while to stop thinking about it after being past the crisis - could be several months), but thinking about it does not mean that you will do it.

Oh good! I entered myself into hospital because I knew I was going to kill myself, and I do still think of it, even though I don't want to die any more. It def makes me more relieved. Thanks!
