Managing to do my routine through the days then I'm wrecked by 6pm. I vegetate on the sofa from 6-12am when I go to bed well sleep on the sofa as I'm still paranoid this has been an on going issue for me for 6 months now.

I hurt myself on Thursday night so much it hurt like a beep. But I continued to do it. Wish I understood my emotions the way normal people did


I’m sorry your still struggling. I think that it was a great exercise your T gave you.

As someone who use to self harm daily . I’m over 6 years safe, amazing to me , it’s been life long. I spend many times in my journey to stop but grabbing ice and gripping it in my hand. It freaking hurts , but it’s a safer option.

Try and go easy on yourself. Make small obtainable goals each day. Maybe keep working on that exercise every few days with a fresh set of eyes maybe you will see changes in that writing that you might not otherwise notice ?? Worth a shot
