Hi Everyone,

So I've come across a bit of a conundrum these past few days. I thought I was ready to stop cutting myself, yet here I am cutting away like its nothing. I'm not feeling agitated stressed or triggered, really not anything at all, but it may be because of all the meds I'm on. So this leads to my question as to if I am really ready to just quit. I've been cutting for over a year now, it seems simple, yet I keep going back to my old routines. Just recently I was accepted into a transitional living program and I don't want to disappoint anyone, but its like a drug that I need to stay alive, just do it every few days, cover it up, no one will know. Apparently I can cut while in this program as long as I don't need stitches, or cut a vein or artery. The worst part is I don't have a roommate yet, so I'm alone in this apartment free to do it at will whereas at the state hospital I would normally do it at night before I fell asleep and in secret. I'm not in individual counseling yet, just doing groups, but its not like I can keep the attention on me in group.

Does anyone else ever feel like this? If so how do you pass it by? Any advice? Am I really ready? I can't see why I would and why I wouldn't quit.
