So basically I have been taking my family's crap for a while now, and I relapsed last week. In the past week, I have made more cuts than I ever have combined, and I just feel so stressed out and inadequate. I literally have no one to talk to about this, so I really want some advice on how to deal with the relapse. I feel like crap.

Sorry that you have been in distress. Can you distance yourself a little bit from your family? Do you have a therapist? You are really upset with yourself for relapsing aren't you?

I am an only child and I still go to school, there is no way to escape my family. Also, I live in a country where psychology is not supported, no hope of getting a T, not that I want one anyway.

I have relapsed in the past, but I was in denial all those times... this time I actually see the truth, that what I'm doing is bad... On midnight of New Year's Eve, I made a resolution to not hurt myself, and I broke that last week, so naturally I was very disappointed in myself.

I didn't cut last night though, so I have actually felt better today! But still... I feel terrible every time I see my scars.

Don't let your disappointment in your relapse drag you down further. You slipped, get back up and move forward. Forgive yourself and keep trying.
