And I am afraid to tell T.

Kudos on the three years...that is amazing! Don't be too hard on yourself. Working on things from the past can bring back old coping skills. Allow yourself time to heal, when you have a new coping skill to replace the self-harm you can quit again. It CAN be very liberating to tell T. I was so ashamed, telling helped get rid of some of that shame. You are NOT a failure!
