I don't really understand the medical part of why I do it, my doctors have tried to explain it to me but I really don't get it. I relapse almost every night and I can't help it. I want to be clean for my family, I know it hurts them and it hurts me to lie to them about being clean, but it's so stress releasing for me. me and my one best friend have been self injuring for a long while and he's mostly clean but I can't seem to stop. does anyone have any tips on how to stop relapsing?

      Hi i am a recovering self harmer as well i used to do it daily now im doing it once or twice a year so thats good but here what im doing. I am on good meds and keep my appointments with my therapist and psych doctor. I hide my blades in places that are hard to get to cause i cant depart from them. I dont do this cause my mom wont let me but maybe you can try snapping a rubber band on your wrist. Or use markers of red to draw on your body or paint if your more into the blood of cutting. Or maybe if you still goals for yourself like my mom gave me 50$ for not cutting for a year even tho i relaped 3 months later. So hope those help
