This is a very strange thing that I am experiencing. Recently, I have become far less depressed. In fact, I feel as though my mood has improved greatly. At times, it seems like it could have the potential to be even better than before I became seriously depressed in the first place. However, from time to time, and sometimes seemingly out of nowhere self harm urges will pop into my mind. Luckily, I've been able to avoid enacting them. However, they have sometimes been worryingly strong and it's worrying that I could still be capable of acting on them. Do they ever fully go away? Sometimes, it seems like long stretches of time can pass without them coming up. However, they came up again a few days ago for little to no reason. I was feeling fine, happy even, and then I just randomly had an impulse to injure myself that recurred over a couple days. Is this just something that tends to keep resurfacing in one's mind, even years after they did it? Is there anything that you can do that prevents the urges from cropping up in the first place?
