I haven't cut since August and I am so proud of that! My old cuts are healed and almost not noticeable. But I have been triggered so much in two weeks its unbearable. I want to cut if I have to to keep my anxiety down from taking hold of my life and all that ive accomplished in a year. Its worse at night, like it has been before I stopped. I get paranoid and will see things at night too. I have been fine mentally since April, and have slowly stopped my Zoloft. I am not depressed, I am just really anxious because my life is so unstable right now. The safest place has just become unsafe and I feel very ashamed with my mom to see new cuts. But I cant hide my cuts from my mom, because I wear shorts and tank tops during the summer, and swim a lot. Although cutting this time will come with a great deal of shame, I still get triggered and all I can think about is that release after the cut.

Have you got a therapist or pdoc to talk to. You've done so well, I would hate to see you fall back into cutting. Maybe you should try going back on the Zoloft and see if that helps your anxiety. Please talk to your doctor.

I know its hard, but you are doing so well! I hope you are proud of yourself for all of your accomplishments . Do have any other coping skills? Do you see a therapist? If not, consider going to see one about the anxiety, they may be able to help you find better ways to deal with it.

I'm sorry you have been triggered so much if you'd like to talk about it, feel free to PM me.

Do you think perhaps the anxiety is due to you coming off the zoloft? Perhaps if you went back on it things would improve again and the urges would lessen. I hope you feel better soon!
