i used to cut too. i found that when i left my negative home environment (i was kicked out) that i pretty much stopped cutting, except for a few random times. i did cut this past november, but hardly left a mark...and i found i was dissapointed that i couldn't cut myself like i used to...but i mainly did it because my home environment was very stiffling. i was never allowed to speak about my feelings, or if i did, i was ignored or told that they were wrong. cutting was the only way to get my feelings out. it was a great release, and as you do young addict, mine was very methodical too, i got out all my supplies and set up beforehand...anyways, i don't really do it anymore, i quit almost pretty much on my own, but i told my T about it right up front, that i did have a problem with that in the past, and even though i don't do it anymore, it might happen...i think if you can't tell your therapist the things you are struggling with, what's the point of having one? that is what they are there for, getting paid for, or wanting to help you with. now, even though i didn't connect with all my T's as i ahve my most recent T, the other T's i dealt with weer very open to talking about the cutting, if i felt i needed to. so if it's on your mind, you should bring it up :)
good luck.*inimitable
