Hi, I'm new here. I stopped cutting 7yrs ago, but I tear my cuticles and bite my nails so far back they hurt. So I guess I'm not really SI free yet. I just started therapy (again, after 7yrs without) and told her that I use to cut. Just saying that, made me long for it again.

I'm scared I'm going to lose it and start cutting again.

its hard cause u'll still get the urges but 7years without is good. U may get the urges but u can fight it by thinking bout how it was good not to go through all that u go through after u do it the i dont want anyone to see the cuts because of the problems they caused. The anger u felt 4doing it. I hope that u dont cut. I know it can be really hard. Im sorry.

Good for you on 7 years, WOW!

Sometimes talking about it will temporarily make the urges worse, but if you work on the reasons why you started cutting in the first place it can make it a lot easier in the long run for you to continue to NOT cut!
