I cut to risk myself, permanently destroy/mutilate my skin and body. I don't cut too deep by accident. When I get upset with myself, I cut because I want to cause permanent damage and put myself at risk. I know this is messed up.

Having said that, I haven't self-harmed since then. I have done the picking thing, badly a few nights, but no cutting. I'm really trying.

I am very proud of you for not self-harming since that last time. It takes strength to do, I know I have been there. You will get stronger at fighting the urges.
