Relapse and getting better
Self-Harm Recovery / by SadMimi100

...See more I remember when I relapsed for one of the first times. I had made a promise to myself saying that I wouldnt cut anymore. So I tried and it worked for about 3 weeks, and I felt like I was really doing good. But then there was a switch in my brain whenever one of my only friends told me they had depression. I felt so out of control that I did it. And this time was bad. Before I would try to do it in places that I could hide it, but this specific time I didnt care. I did it everywhere, and deeper this time. It was undeniably the worst mental place I have ever been in. I want everyone who reads this to know that you are worth it and cutting yourself will not solve your problems. For me it just made it worse and I could no longer hide it. And the overwhelming guilt consumed me. And it is not worth it. I know that it seems much easier to say then do. But I know you are strong and if I can do it. I believe anyone can Ever since then, I have been getting better and trying my best not to cut despite the urges. It's been about a month now, and it does get better. And now that I haven't had a relapse in a long time, I can say that it's not worth it to self harm. There are healthier ways to deal with problems. Please know that you are loved, and please dont do it. I wanted to share this because I felt the need after reading other people's stories. So please know that you are loved and it does get better. I wish you all the best ❤

...See more I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for a long time. And just recently developed Insomnia. I know that I should have gotten help but I dont know. Yet now one of my only friends has depression, and I cant help but blame myself. Since she used to be happy until I came along... Not to mention she is talking about her urges to cut yourself. Which is a thing I used to do. And still somewhat do. So now I just feel stuck. I feel as If I dont deserve help now that I made her this way. I feel like I need to help her but I cant do anything. So I also feel worthless. How can I help my friend, when I cant even help myself?
