Hi im new to this so not sure on how this really works
@Zoemarie1502
Hi there, welcome here! I'm happy that you have joined our community :)
We have a weekly check-in post (like this one) you can reply to, and you can also start your own threads in the different sections of the forum, and comment other people's posts. I hope you will feel supported here :)
Hey there @Zoemarie1502 *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
Welcome here! We are really glad to have you here with us.
I think the above post summarizes it really well and just remember that we are always glad to hear from you no matter what. :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark hey thank you x
Hey. I don't commonly post here but everything took a turn for the worse yesterday and I really need to vent, so I hope that's alright.
I was having a pretty good week. I hadn't harmed in 2 weeks, my anxiety attacks were manageable, I met a couple of really cool people, and everything was fine. Then last night, I'm not sure what triggered it but I had a pretty bad panic attack, then a couple hours later after I had calmed down a bit, somebody said to me I was a 'worthless c*** who should go hurt themselves.' and everything went down from there and my clean streak was broken. I'm not trying to sound like I'm blaming anyone for my action, cause I'm not, but I really hate how easily I let stupid words affect me like that. This has happened before too, I make some progress, and then some stupid and small thing triggers a huge setback. It feels like a never ending cycle that I can't escape and I just hate it.
Hey there @23Lotus *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Of course it is okay to vent, we all are here for eachother and I am glad that you have shared this with us :)
On the other hand, I am really sorry to hear all that. I mean words have power. Words we say and words we do not say when they would be needed. Some people just really do not think about it, how their words will affect others. Of course, you are right that you have to learn to set boundaries so words will have a harder time hitting you but still, I am sorry that you have been told that, especially after a panic attack, when you were most likely really drained. Those words are not through tho, you are such an amazing individual and deserve to heal and recover, deserve all the love and support coming your way. I mean, you are already doing a pretty amazing job, going two weeks without self-harm is really amazing and I am really proud of you for it. I know relapses can be disheartening but it does not take away from all that hard work you have already done and I believe in you, I believe that you can go for two weeks being clean again and even more this time :)
Of course, you are not alone in this, we all are here for you if there is anything we may be able to help you with or if you would just ever like to vent like this. Together we can definitey get through this :)
Stay strong and awesome!
Hey my anxiety has kick of tonight struggling to sleep .... this is when the thoughts come to lead to the self harm im trying all different things to do to keep my mind of it anyone have advice
Hey there @Zoemarie1502 *hugs* (if you are okay with it)
We are really glad to have you here with us!
I am sorry to hear that you have had such a restless night. Lack of sleep can definitely make everything much harder and anxiety can be especially tough like that. Well, things that work for me is taking long walks - being in the fresh air and physically tiring myself at the same time so I can sleep later on - or jorunaling. At least, by journaling, I mean that trying to verbalize those anxious thoughts and writing them down on a piece of paper and reading it back and just trying to challange them that way. More often than not when I see an anxious thought written down I am having a much easier time to challenge it and disprove it.
At least those are things that help for me at times like this :)
Stay strong and awesome!
