I Am Battling Self Harm

It's been almost 4 years since the last time I hurt myself, but lately I've had such a strong urge to start it back up again and I don't know why. I feel like I should be over this by now. I guess it doesn't help how stressful it's been at work lately. I just want to give up even though I know I shouldn't. Hopefully I'm strong enough to fight it.

I had a very close friend who began this, following ongoing trauma at the hands of a guy at her school. She was cutting on a regular basis, eventually culminating in a suicide note.
Chance intervened, and she sought help rather than follow through with her decision. It took a caring counselor/therapist to root out the issues, and stop the self harm.
Today she's very happy, healthy, and in the last year of university for a promising nursing career.

All the best to you.
