Some ways you can work on staying clean in coming up with healthy replacements. This can include listening to music, drawing, and many other things. Just find out what works for you. The last thing I think is important for you to do is identify your triggers. As long as you know what gets you to the moments you can start removing the "temptation". This just means taking that trigger and refining it or removing it from your life. This does vary person to person though.
Wow, this was recommended to me and I’m glad it was. I’d love for more people to see this, your personal experience is relatable to anyone who’s ever tried to stop sh. I first heard/realized this in relation to drug addiction but it applies to all unhealthy coping skills; every moment you’re not engaging with that self destructive behavior, you’re improving :0 and that’s very comforting to me. When I would relapse, I’d tell myself next time I’ll be stronger. Maybe that meant resisting it for a couple more hours. But I did that and now next time I can think, “I’ll just wait 30 more minutes.”
Like you said, every second counts. I hope you continue being kind and patient to yourself, it’s hard getting to that place, but glad to see you here.
I've been clean from self-harm since December and haven't been in any mental health treatment for about three months now. Life can get better, and I really wish more people could live long enough to experience the joy I've felt from recovering. Also you're really pretty!!!
That's great progress, and thank you 😭❤, I wish you the best!
