39 years old
I am too old to be back here. I left the razor behind in my teens. Now my children are the age I was when I was the most self destructive. I went through some trauma recently and rekindled my self harm. I should know better at this age but it's like a visit from a long lost friend.
Sorry I should have said TW. I am new here... just realized my mistake

...a long lost friend... Sounds like you went looking for some comfort. Hope you are able to get back on track.

Dear Orange,
Ugh. I’m sorry. I hear you. I had the same. Nothing since I was a teenager, then relapsed at 36 or so.
Courage. I just personally had to become very conscious about supports, self-care, therapy, sleep. I quit drinking, cos I found that the depression and anxiety often got worse, and SH urges got the better of me when my inhibitions were lower. I wasn’t an alcoholic or anything, it was just a complication I needed not to involve.
I hope things get better. Sending positive thoughts your way!
