I did it again

@wintertuolis

Hi Wintertuolis,

It's ok, we all get weak sometimes. I also have a self-harm issue that I keep at bay most of the time, but then when I get overwhelmed with pain, I end up doing it too.  All I can say is that when I do it again, afterward, I sit down and remember that this is hurting me, and I shouldn't do it- and I will try again. A fresh start. All you can do is try again. For me over time it's happening less and less, mainly because I'm starting to deal with the root causes (after 20 years). But I too was weak just last week.

Don't be hard on yourself and remember you can start fresh today. The key is to keep trying and not give up- you are worth it. And lean into this community- we're all here to help each other. And if you can you may want to talk to a therapist to help discover those root causes, because I don't want you to be a me- get help before 20 years go by.

Hang in there- I'm sending you some of my good vibes your way.

Pleasw don’t feel bad or like you let us down.  SH is one of the hardest things to recover from.  I can’t tell you how many times I “relapsed,” early on in my recovery.  The thing that helped me most was knowing that I could start my day over anytime.  And that when I relapsed, I could just start fresh.
