So, lately i've been finding it extremely hard to resist the temptating of cutting
I've been able to restrain myself... for the most part, but I could really use some word of wisdom or experiance. I guess I just don't have anyone to relate to anymore... I used to, one of my best friends and I stopped together, but we just aren't as close as we used to be. It will have been 3 years this april since I stopped self-harming but sometimes it can feel like I never have and the NEED is so strong that it's literaly irresistable. The worst part about slipping is the guilt and shame... It hurts so much to know that you couldn't pick up a phone and call your best friend because you wanted to feel that release so much. Sometimes I'll get to the point where I have her number dialed, and my finger is on talk... but instead of pressing it, I throw the damn phone down and cry. It's so conflicting when I'm in that state... I want comfort, but I also want the release that nothing else can compare to.

If anyone is willing to talk and maybe give some advice or comfort, it would be greatly aprreciated. Preferably from someone who has cut, but anyone who has self-harmed would be welcome.
