Haven't cut in forever (2+ years), a few slip up's with selfmedicating/over medicating but that's it.

I keep thinking about it and i found my two knives. I know logically I shouldn't cut but i dont' know how long i can fight the urge to anyway. I don't mean to sound creepy but the knives are really like an old friend.

I just can't hide the cuts. For long anyways. What am I supposed to do?

Just don't hurt yourself. Try to distract yourself.

Try putting the knifes completely out of your sight for a while until the urge passes... I keep my razor in a locked safe.

I agree, hiding your knives will ease a lot of the urges or make them easier to cope with. Try rewarding yourself with something small everyday you don't give into the urges. You're strong! You made it two years, and that is really something. We're here if you need us.

yeah I put them away, not too far but out of reach. Didn't do anything.. Can't stop calling myself a **** for not ripping in, but that's just my twisted mind ***** with me.

Jesus. Dump them. Not worth going back to that, again. Well done on the 2+ years free, BTW.
