I started cutting in the spring of 2010. I burned a couple times in the fall of 2010/the winter of 2011. Quitting is hard and even though I have periods where I don't even want to cut, I have moments where I feel as though I have to or else I'll lose part of myself. That's why this post is about self-harm. Because I want to, but promised my girlfriend I wouldn't when she was with me.
When I stopped cutting it was only because I could afford to,because the need for it had apparently run its natural course,like the fever the body mounts to fight off infection,that subsides when the danger is past.
I know exactly how you feel. Wherever you are now, just know that you're not alone. I get that that sounds clichéd, but it's true. I hope you're ok (:
