Hi, I'm new here! - (21M)

I'm clean for 2 to 3 years now. not doing any form of self-harm since i'm successfully distracted myself. but lately, days become worse. have a lot of responsibilities and tasks i need to complete in my class at uni. feel like a ***, no friends, alone with social anxiety. maybe, it's not their faults since sometimes i'm the one who push them away to avoid me from hurting them. and i relapse.... and addicted to do SH again for everynight. I'm bad guy.

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of stress and pressure, and it's completely understandable that you're struggling. It's important to remember that relapse is a part of recovery, and it doesn't mean that you're a bad person. You've already shown incredible strength and resilience by being clean for 2 to 3 years, and that's something to be proud of. But it's also okay to ask for help when you need it

it sounds like things are really overwhelming right now and that maybe some new coping skills might be helpful to you.  I’m really glad you have found 7 cups and hope that you can find support and new coping skills here.

Just because you SH and have relapsed doesn’t make you a bad person.  Recovery has lots of twists and turns and peaks and valleys.  Right now you are in a valley.  What’s one step you can take to try to climb out of the valley?

It must be real stressful to be in this situation. I'm sorry, you don't deserve it.

sh is not a personal weaknesses. it's not your fault. 

I am behind you,friend. When ever it seems like the urge is overwhelming and school is crashing down. please remember ; help is always available. Let's take it slowly,one step at a time.
