Question by : why does trying to stop cutting seem so futile?
I’ve been getting help, but its still tempting at times. Its like im fine for a bit, then I end up cutting again, and then im fine for a bit again. I haven’t cut in a while, but I want to and I still keep a knife around (I tried getting rid of my knives, but in the end I always end up getting more).

Best answer:

Answer by Joseph W
I’m sure it’s like any psychosis. I’m sure it’s not a cake-walk to get rid of it.
