After going through a few weeks when I thought that cutting myself wasn't that big a deal, that I could do it, feel better, and move on...I realized I was wrong.

I cut myself a few times over the past few weeks and now that I'm coming out of whatever depression I was in, I see how wrong I was and I feel really guilty and ashamed for doing it in the first place. I feel like I snapped out of one "mode" wherein I injured myself just to snap into another where I verbally beat myself up constantly.

What do you guys do when you give up cutting for long enough to look back, and see all the damage you've done?

Hey Millow

Sorry to hear about your situation. What i do is that i think that i will out beat it next time. I take a day by day trying not to cut and if i do i just tell myself to dont worry i will reach my goal next time. To me even if i go a couple of hours without cutting i reward myself because im slowly but surely getting there. Dont beat yourself up for something that you cant control at the moment or for what you did in the past. Learn from your mistake and get up and try do to it better.

If ever you may have a big problem, don't say, 'God I have a big problem!', but instead; 'Hey Problem, I have a big God and everything will be okay!

I AM NOT DOCTOR AND MY ADVICE IS PURELY MY OPINION WHICH SHOULD BE REGARD AS SUCH!!!
