We all relapse from time to time. You have to not beat yourself up over mistakes. You did not let anyone down!

Don't worry! It happens. I just actually relapsed and no one knows, well other than people on here. I have at least ten on my arm, some on my thighs and my tummy. I know it was a horrible relapse but I'm trying hard not to think about it anymore. I know it's not what I want. I just hate myself and this made me feel like I was being punished. I'm proud of you for getting as far as you did. Do you know why you relapsed? If you wanna talk about it, message me. Much love, Niki

I would like to think that we all don't relapse, but obviously the vast majority of the time it happens now and then.
I wish I could say that I am able to be completely non violent instead of just towards others and truly live out my peace activist type beliefs, but for whatever reason I too tend to think that hurting myself is somehow different although my therapist continually calls me on it and says violence includes yourself.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
