After two years without any cutting, I did it again. It makes me sad, like I flushed two years down the toilet. I understand about relapses and how almost everybody has them, but I never have allowed myself the same compassion I allow others. I've been really hard on myself. Part of me is saying I ruined it all and there is no point in stopping myself any more because now my two years is over anyway. I don't even need to cut now, emotionally. The crisis is pretty much over. But now I'm having a hard time seeing the point in not cutting. I used to be able to say "I don't want to ruin my two- year record." How do you pick up and move on again after a relapse? How do you stop yourself a second time?
