    I’m trying to stop it in its entirety. My mom and grandma are too worried about me

      Waow, that’s respectable, but it’s also really hard. I hope you manage to do it, but can still forgive yourself if you fail. Stopping cutting is hard, the chances that you can’t just stop it instantly are high. If it happens, be gentle to yourself. You’re not weak, it simply is that difficult. Also, being hard on yourself fuels self-loathing, which in turn makes it likelier for you to cut again. For this reason I believe treating yourself well mentally and seeing yourself less critically is very important. It’s ok to have weak moments, you can forgive yourself for those, as long as you are trying to improve in the long term, which I believe you do. I believe in you.
