I hate how everytime I accidentally get a mark somewhere or accidentally cut myself it brings back all these memories and urges to SH again. I wish it didn’t bother me so much. I’ve not done anything for. 2 months but it’s really hard.

@gentleBook3741 I'm really sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s understandable that these marks and cuts can trigger difficult memories and urges. It’s a huge achievement to have gone two months without self-harming, and that’s something to be proud of. It might help to find ways to gently remind yourself of your progress and strength. If you ever need to talk or need support, listeners are here for you ❤️

First of all, congrats on being SH free for 2 whole months!  That’s amazing progress!

To feel triggered when you get an accidental cut or scratch is normal.  Have you found any ways that help you manage the triggers when they happen?
