self-harm feels rewarding
i've been clean from self-harm for almost a month and ever since my mother found out, i started controlling my urges. the urges are still here, they're still very strong. i get this urge to self-harm even when nothing bad happened, it just feels like a reward rather than a punishment because it feels good. after i finally finish doing something my mind immediately resorts to self-harm, its a bit terrifying, but i still have things under control. just thought i'd like to share.

Hey, I'm not a listener, but I just wanted to let you know that it's okay. I know it feels scary, you are not alone, I feel like this too sometimes! This feels weird because not many people maybe talk about it in this way, but I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in feeling like this. I'm so proud of you, we can get through this.
Wish I could have more words to tell you right now, but anyway feel free to let me know how you feel if you want. Take care of yourself, please.
congratulations on doing so well so far. you should feel accomplished!
it is a little freaky how hardwired our brains are to seek out dopamine, but you're really amazing for how far you've come. i hope you can reward yourself with something else instead!
