I feel like I can't stop
I'm so thankful that I haven't yet started up with cutting again. But I can't stop thinking of it. I think of doing it almost, if not every day. I know I'll regret it but I feel like I need the feeling of relief that self harm brings. I just want the sadness inside me to leave.

hello - I know this is super late, I didn't see this post until now for some reason. But I do want you to know that your feelings are valid and real. I understand that resisting the urge to self-harm is very hard.. because it feels relieving in the moment. Sometimes our unpleasant feelings can overpower us, and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with feeling what you're feeling. it also takes a lot of courage to reach out and express how you're feeling, so I'm proud of you for that :) .
