have you ever had a time where like you weren't sure if u relapsed? sometimes ive 100% accidentally scratched myself or something and then i start overthinking it that i did it on purpose. could just be my ocd as well.

Hi there! Personally there are moments when I have doubts about whether things that I do could still be considered SH or not. Like, there are things that are very obviously an act of self-harm, and others that are maybe more tricky. I would say this is part of the recovery path, or one of the possible ways in which we can experience recovery. We may move to light forms of SH before finding other coping mechanisms that are totally healthy.
