3 Weeks Post Last SH

I managed to make it 3 weeks without self harming. It's getting better. The urges are becoming less frequent and less intense. The first week was awful and riding out urges felt nearly impossible. But ever since I started sharing some of the emotional weight with my best friend, it's felt lighter.  I'm trying my best to avoid making her my "therapist". I don't tell her I'm having urges when I reach out...I just make light conversation until it goes away and I've noticed, now my first instinct when I feel overwhelmed is to text her literally anything opposed to wanting to cut. Lol I feel like I'm rewiring my brain or something
