I'm done with cutting and self-harm, the satisfaction is gone but... everytime i make someone upset or i do something wrong i end up cutting, and then knowing the consequences of doing this... makes me cut more...

I'm sorry it took this long to respond to this.

That's probably the darkest part of self-harm in general. It's unbelievably difficult to stop. Even if the reason has changed. The best thing you can do is find a lifeline. Someone who can support you in the worst of times. Next, but equally important, is finding a different way to cope with the feeling. Whether that be by different means entirely like music and such, or at first by ways that can emulate pain more safely (gripping an ice cube, snapping a rubber band), sometimes the smallest of things can help.

I'm...probably preaching to the choir, as none of this message was exactly groundbreaking news. I just want to see you get better, as no one should need to feel that way.
