How should I handle this trigger
Self-Harm Recovery / by LyssSky03

...See more So recently I made a friend who has healed scars from self harm, which as someone who also has a past of it I should be comfortable with such things. However, I caught myself being somewhat emotionally affected by looking at their scars, which I know I shouldn't. I feel awful for letting it affect me, but it really has. How can I manage this feeling of being upset by others scars? (As a note i know this is my responsibility to manage my feelings on the subject and I'm just asking for emotional tips and help I'm not trying to say anything negative about others or their scars :)
I love my job, but...

...See more Wanted to create a space where we could share the hard parts about our jobs and how we feel 😀 Personally, I love my job, and I love meeting patients and hearing their stories, but it's so hard because I work in an oncology based field, so most of my patients are suffering/scared/in pain, and I have to be professional and smile and wish them luck when sometimes all I want to do is cry. When my patients tell me about their end of life plans, or cry to me about how much it hurts, I feel like I have to disconnect from the human side that just wants to sit down and hug them and do my job and it sucks sometimes
Missing Depression?

...See more This might sound weird and insensitive and I apologize beforehand! Please I hope it doesn't upset or trigger anyone currently struggling!! I've been recovering from my depression and self harm for a few years now, and while I've had many dips and things, I consider myself pretty much stable right now. But I almost have a weird nostalgia feeling around my depression. It's like sometimes I feel like it impacted my personality to a point and now sometimes I feel confused about who I am without it. Considering it took up pretty much all of my teen years- it's kind of like a formative part of me is gone now that I'm recovered for the most part. And sometimes I miss that part of myself, even though it was awful to go through. Like I would never wish depression on anyone at all, and yet there's something about it I miss. Does anyone else feel this way? Once again I apologize if this is insensitive to anyone struggling I don't mean to minimize your feelings or problems AT ALL I hope everyone gets help for depression/mental health issues I promise it's worth it!
Relapsing and I don't know why *TRIGGER WARNING*

...See more Hi there. Recently I've been having lots of relapses with my cutting. I stopped about 3 years ago and have had a few relapses since (it's been about 2 months fully clean). The way my self-harm usually works (and I apologize if this is triggering or graphic), is that I cut a few times in one sitting and the relief from it lasts a while and I can stay clean for months just from one day of harm. However, recently this relapse has been pretty bad. I've harmed multiple days this week and have been being a little more strong about it. It's weird since I don't feel particularly depressed, but mainly I just feel super empty lately and the only way I can find feeling is through risky or self-destructive behaviors. I'm not sure what to do about this relapse. It seems to be the worst one yet but I just want to keep doing it.

...See more So I took Plan B about a week ago and I'm not too worried about it working or not but I am a little concerned about the side effects and I dont know who to ask about it. I'm still having really severe mood swings and bloating, most other side effects have stopped. But I feel like the effects should have stopped by now? Is this a problem?
