Relapse after 5 years clean…

@Saeka

Hey Saeka.

I'm so proud of how long you went without self harm. I'm sorry to hear that you relapsed last month at the end of the year. I'm sorry to hear that you caused deeper scars to yourself this time. I understand just living in the moment not knowing what to expect from day to day. I understand you trying to stay clean and I'm proud of that. I understand trying to keep yourself busy from using this unhealthy coping skill. I understand feeling this way isn't easy. I would suggest trying to search up alternative coping skills for self harm. I would suggest looking at these 2 websites. They can help you find some alternative coping skills.
