I keep getting worse. I probably would have tried to end things if I wasn't afraid that emergency workers would shoot my dog when they would come get me from my house where I would have done it. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this so please don't block my account for saying this: I self injured last night. It didn't leave a mark, just a scratch or two. I had gone like six months without self injuring. I should probably go back to the hospital but I don't like the hospitals I've been to. I need a new one to try... Time for therapy
Remember, recovery is not linear. So there will be times when you mess up. I was clean for almost 10 years until last month.. but I've been clean since then. Does it suck? Yes. Is it painful? Absolutely. But nobody with a self harm problem recovers in a linear way. So don't feel like you're a failure, because you're not.
I'm glad you're still alive. I've noticed that people who self harm are the most kind and gentle people I've ever met. The world needs more people like that. So don't give up, I Care about you. The world would not be the same without you. If you ever feel like you're overwhelmed with suicidal thoughts text HOME to 741 741. It's a crisis text line that's saved my life in the past.
Keep your chin up, people who go through hell are the strongest people. <3
