Self harm as an addiction

I feel like no one really sees self harm as an addiction, but for me it is. It gives me a "high" like drugs would. It makes me feel light and relaxed. I'm currently 74 days self harm free but its so difficult to abstain from.

It's interesting the aspect of it being an addiction for you, it makes sense, that to a certain extent, doing it allows you to feel relieved of stress and pressure and to feel in control 💚
I'm so glad you are clean, you should be proud, one day at a time 💚

@treefrog1234 it definitely does that, I’ve thought of it before, but I really don’t know why nobody talks about it as an addiction
congrats on 74, that’s a lot 💙
