Hello...?
I'm really new to using 7 Cups but thought I'd finally give it a try and see how I liked it so I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing this right. If anyone else is willing to correct me on any mistakes I'm making, that'd be helpful. I checked out this community because I've been having self harm urges for some time now and it's alarming because I've been clean since 2018 and I had finally broke free of the habit so I'm just overall distressed and confused because I really don't want to turn to self harm again.

Hi there and welcome here :)
I am happy that you have joined our community and I hope we will be able to offer you the support you are looking for.
Thank you for sharing how you feel with us, it takes lots of strength. I am proud of you for being clean for such a long time. I understand how distressing would be feeling these urges again. Can you identify what exactly has triggered them? Which events and emotions? Can you think of healthier coping mechanisms you have been using in the past year to face those very same emotions?
As for using this website, posting in a forum as you did is a good way to start getting to know everybody. You can explore and join different subcommunities too, join a group chat, and talk to a listener: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/. You can also use feeds and do the exercises on the growth path. I hope I will be seeing you around. You are not alone!
