Clean but did it recently

richsloth29 November 22nd, 2021

I had been clean for more than 4 years but I recently broke up from a 4 year relationship and I self harmed by scratching myself twice last month.

There were multiple triggers and urges later this month but I've tried to distract myself and cope with it by squishing a soft toy and deep breathing. I hope I don't self harm in the coming near future.

(Writing, scribbling, drawing and journalling are few coping mechanisms and the immediate ones are squishing a soft toy and deep breathing that worked for me)

Hey, I'm so proud of you for trying. Your efforts matter. ❤️🌻


Walking used to help me a lot before. I'm not suggesting anything but you can try if you want to some time. 🤍


Sending hugs. 💕🌼
