i think a lot of the things i've been feeling lately have been situational... above and beyond the regular swings... why after so long did i start SI again?

Sometimes there's a need that's not getting met any other way except through SI behaviors. I think only you can figure out why you started to SI again, though.

I myself struggle with cutting and it takes everything I have to not do it...don't beat yourself up over it...you'll worsen your SI behaviors I think. Just pick yourself up and start over again....Good luck.

Sometimes you can relapse. I know that's what happened to me when my roomate committed suicide last year... *Sigh*

I know people struggle with it everyday. I did to for so long... and got some "help" to stop the cutting... but it was oh so hard. Now that I slipped again, I want to keep doing it. I know inside that I shouldn't and I remember the things I used to do to distract or release tension to help me to not cut and it seems like they don't work anymore. I really don't want to get to the point that I struggle the way I did. The circumstances that I'm living in now are ridiculously stupid... I'll spare the details... and they're not gonna be fixed any time soon. Sorry... just thought I'd spew a little.

You're welcome to vent here as much as you like (or as little). It's your choice. I'm sorry that you are struggling right now.

Aw, rem, I have been struggling with this again lately too. I need to find better coping strategies, but sometimes it's the only one that really brings relief. When I can get through my distress without doing it, I usually feel pretty proud of myself, so that sometimes helps. Good luck to you. I am so glad that you do have an appointment fairly soon. Take care!
