Still have the urge to cut?!
Question:
Still have the urge to cut?
Ive been through a lot. Im on prozac, i havent cut in 4 months, but i still have the urge too. Im not going to cut because im proving to everyone that im getting better and it would break my familys heart if i did it again, and i cant put my family through that again. But its like im fine, and than i start thinking about school and all this other bad stuff that has happened to me and i get the biggest urge to cut, and i have to site there and think about all the negatives that come from it. My question is for people who arent cutters anymore do you guys still get the urge to cut? Am i always going to have the urge to cut?

Yes, it's going to be with you for a long time. it's just like an alcoholic. They're always going to WANT to drink...but have the willpower to not pick up the bottle.
I have been cutting for 9 1/2 years...and am working towards recovery right now. 4 months is AMAZING. Unfortunately, I have recently relapsed after 3 months...but I'm still working toward recovery.
A friend of mine [who is a co-administrator of a Self Injury Recovery Message Board that I run] has been cut-free for THREE YEARS. She STILL to this day has urges to cut. But has the willpower to not.
