Question I need answered

@Ashley2508

I'm sorry to read that you are still haunted by the desire to self harm.

Unfortunately I can't reassure you that it definitely will go. However I have found that those cravings get less frequent over time. My last gap between self harming thoughts was 3years or so. Which to me is very promising that one dsy it will be never.

For me: it comes and it goes. The urge is more often than not, Not there anymore for me though. 

Looking back, it's been ever so slowly getting better. Yes, times like this week it's back, but honestly it does get better.

I'm sorry to hear that you still get self-harm thoughts that haunt you sometimes. I've been clean for a few years too but i do get those thoughts from time to time when life gets heavy

I'm sorry you feel that way and yes it does get better and goes away, and I'm here to help and guide you if you need me, just remember you are not alone and there are people out there that cares.

I’m sorry to hear you feel that way.

I’ll be honest, for me it’s ever present. What has changed in time is how i react to the urge. That has changed a lot. As I grow older I have found ways to deal with it, and clear reasons not to SH. Tho therapy has helped me immensely, what really made a difference was a shift in perspective: i KNOW now my sense of Self is bigger than my urges. I’m a mom, also. So, yes, I think I’ll deal with it for ever, but it is becoming lighter with the years. There’s hope. Hit me up. Let’s talk. You are not alone. ❤️
