I used to cut a few years ago, and then slipped into cutting again not that long ago. I pulled myself back from these hard times, but right now I feel like I am going to slip back in to old habits... I found myself desperately scratching my arms in work tonight and I realised upon inspection that it was red and there were marks the whole way up it. Then when i got home all I wanted to do was cut, but I didn't. I still have that feeling, like something needs let out of my arm, like i need to cut it to feel relief but I don't want to let myself down again. Is there any way that people have found stops themselves from getting back into self harm?
