I can totally relate, I went 16days without cutting(longest ever) then I had made it almost 9 days but I just cut, you just have to keep pushing forward and think I can stop this.

I hope this helps.

I know how you're feeling. In August, I was so happy in camp with people I actually liked and didn't cut the whole month. Now I'm back at school and I have urges to SH all the time and it's all I think about. It sucks.

If you ever wanna talk, I'll be here.

Here for anyone.. PM me or add me, anything.

It happens to everyone. Relapses are part of the recovery and don't mean that you have to give up: you CAN get past this. Just because you cut one night doesn't mean you have to the next.
If it brought your urges back, that means things are probably going to get worse before they get better... but they will get better. Do you have any "battle plans" for when you feel like you have to cut? Stuff that you know will distract you, lower your stress level, all that? People you can call if you need to? If not, you can check out the one here, it has a whole lot of suggestions.
I wish you the best. Next time you want to cut, remember how bad you felt afterwords this time. Maybe you can even use this to your advantage.
