Welcome Jorsmith,
I'm sorry to hear about how you are struggling with self harm and feeling like you are about to relapse. I know keeping those urges under control and not falling into them can be very difficult. I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend and that he has done not very nice things. That's not okay. You deserve respect, kindness, safety and love. It may take time to forgive him. But it's okay if you are not ready to forgive him or face the issue. As I know it can hurt a lot. I want you to know that here on 7 cups you're not alone and many of us struggle on here with the issue of self harm. Your feelings and emotions and your reactions are completely valid to what has been said and done. I want you to know that I care about you and your safety. So please if you are in a crisis reach out to the appropriate resources: Crisis – 7 Cups Help Center. I hope you feel better soon. Just a little suggestion. If you haven't tried maybe looking for some alternative coping skills would be beneficial and not harmful to you or your precious body. If you wish to talk to someone about this feel free to connect with a listener 1-1 and if you wish to talk to me. Depending on your age of course. I'd be more than glad to. Please take care and stay safe. -kindcherry2

It's understandable that you ended up doing. Sometimes we do give into those urges easily. I would like to suggest these two link for you to check out for some alternative coping skills if you're up for it.

I know how you feel I used to feel the same way like you do and I still do I have a disability and I always got made fun of all my life and I still get bullied all the time now even if it's by my own family every time they get on me and body shave me I feel like I should just and it and honestly I know about relaxing a lot I used to pop pills along with alcohol as well so I can relate if you ever need a best friend I'm always here.
stay strong and try to fight urges. If you relapse that’s okay it’s part of recovery. Im so proud of you! Send prayers ❤️
