Relapse
Tw sh
I have not cut in about 8 years till two days ago.... Now it's all I can think about.
Background: I had already broke the self harm streak in early January and ended up hospitalized on a 1013 for a bad mixed episode. I have bipolar 2 with mixed episodes.
@Alexandria25,
Hey there , doing to self-harm after so long can bring in so many heavy emotions, how are you managing?
It's wonderful to know that you haven't done it since 8years. It's a great news. What one doesn't hear is about how much of a struggle it is to keep down the urge . I understand that it must make you disappointed at the moment. I know it's not easy to look at it with an open mind or think positive at times like this
Self harm serves a purpose for those who do it. It's the best of you can process the emotions that triggers your urges . I know doing that while you manage being bipolar can be a hefty task. You have got this far though right ? ..you will make it through this too. I know it doesn't seem so sometimes , i get that , it's hard not to feel so. But you can eventually take it to a better spot. You can also find a lot of healthier alternatives for Sh . Also have you looked into the self help guides we get at cups ? Remember support is always available. I know you are brave, i have no doubts on that, but you don't have to always do it alone.
You have got this. You have come across so many ways to tackle your difficulties. You have got this , okay ? You have . Just hold on and it will get better eventually.
Senting lots of cookies, strength , hugs ( if okay) .
Take awesome care of yourself.
