Thoughts
I am several months clean...but lately my life has been going down hill and I've had thoughts about doing it again. Like every time I cry I just think that I need to feel something more...I haven't done it yet but I keep thinking about it..
@Isaiahthegoat Recovery can be very challenging. Having these thoughts is not failure dear. You've been doing great and we all have hard days... These days addiction makes its appearance again. Self-harming is an addiction too. It helps cope with pain causing a bigger one. There's some adrenaline to it. But it can only cause bigger problems in long-term. Keep up with the great work of overcoming this addiction. You are more important than any problem dear. Don't forget that. The best way to cope is to find other sources of happiness that are healthy and productive, such as self-care, creative activities, reading etc. You'll make it and we're here for you! Thank you for sharing your concerns today!
recovery isn’t always as easy as we’d like it to be. sometimes the emotional pain feels overwhelming where we want ourselves to physically feel our feelings. if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out. find something today that brings some form of joy. let’s do our best.
