It’s been over 2 years since I last posted.
I’m happy to say I’m almost at 1000 days free from self harm. Over two years it was a long path, and there were absolutely times it felt like I was going backwards. But I still kept going. It’s hard to imagine that there was a time I couldn’t go a week without self harm.
there still days when I feel down and there are still days I get urges to self harm. And that’s all completely normal parts of recovery. What is important is that we keep getting up, even if we need to take time to rest before doing so.
I hope this post can reach someone who went through something similar. Just after my last post in 2022 I went into the most severe depression I had ever had and actually kicked off my mental health recovery. The details can be written in a different post.
I just need to let you guys know on the forum I’m doing ok now! And I know where to find this place should I ever need it again.
