Need some help.
It’s really hard for me to not think about self harming recently. I’m in a lot of pain and I’m trying my best to let myself cry for a little bit and then take breaks as to not go into a depressive episode and make things in my mind worse. Does anyone have any encouraging or supportive words they can share with me?
I very much do have some.
Just by those words, I can see that you are doing what you can for yourself and that you're in deep mental strain. On this app, we are all here to help eachother, and you're not an exception to that. You are fighting strong right now, and that's amazing. I know it's frighteningly difficult right now, but you are doing a superb job and please know that these urges are temporary. If I may ask for one thing, is that you keep going on strong and brave. It's okay if you fault a few times, or even possibly many times, the point is that you are fighting and even just a little bit is a step towards being free. I am proud of you for even being able to realize what steps you need to make for progress. I know how extremely challenging it is, and I wish you the very best.
