This is another test to see if you'll fall into old habits, i have a friend who does this and stops too, but it's not really healthy. if stressed out try taking three breaths and another for reasureance, then clear your mind and just let your body relax. This will help you with your stress and maybe more.

OK now that I have said that, I believe the feelings you are having are probably normal. An alcoholic will always want booze, a smoker will always want a cigarette and you will probably always feel the urge to cut away your problems.
Next time you feel like cutting, change the situation. Call a friend, go for a walk, anything but cut. If that doesn't work, then please seek help. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

i only cut once and it was my knuckles..
i made me cry more then it felt good
thats a bad way to relieve stress.
i suggest focusing on something else when you want to cut.
G00D LUCK!
