I cut today...I am so ashamed. I have been fighting the urge for a long time. I surrendered to the thoughts.
I think I moving backwards...progress has regressed...back to square one. I can't do this all over again |

Hello, please try not to feel too ashamed, guilty, etc. because nobody is perfect.
We all have our slip-ups, but does that mean that all hope is lost? Of course not. In fact, when we harm ourselves, we can learn something from it. What emotions were you feeling when you did it? What thoughts were going through your mind? To put it simply...what triggered you to SI? It would be helpful to know these things, so that next time you are triggered, you can deal with these thoughts and emotions in a healthy way. Personally, I have a pretty long list of things I can do when I'm feeling like harming myself. And when those urges arrive, I refer to the list and choose some things I'd like to do. Thus far, it's been very helpful to me. Distraction is a great way to get rid of those pesky SI thoughts. Sending you safe hugs  And I hope you're feeling better soon.

CSC, healing is a process, it isn't a measure of if you SI or not. When is your next therapy appt.?

I hope you find the strength to get back up again. One second...one minute...one day at a time.

Hey im josh and i know a lot about self injury its always tempting and sometimes hard to resist like for me its when i feel hurt upset and depresset i get into a self injury state sometimes i do it but mostly i do not i call friends and they are supportive and sooner or later i put the knife or whatever down and just bc u cut doesnt mean u failed it means you are on the path to becoming a stronger you the longer you resist the more you will find it easier to forget about it you are building strength not failure
