I am clean from Self harm!

I am Rachel and I am 29 years old. I have been clean from self harm for 1 year, 5 months and 20 days! It is hard to get through the urges but when I do I am so incredibly proud of myself! I hope I can inspire others!

I do a lot of positive self talk, I also like to make friendship bracelets because it keeps my hands busy, listen to music , nap, pet my cats !

Those are all super incredible! Never underestimate the power of a nap. There is a huge difference between avoidance behaviour and a much needed reset. Naps are sacred to me. Although I dont nap. I sleep. 2 hours min.

What kind of friendship bracelets do you make? Macrame?

I just make them with string and pick a couple colors to use! It takes a bit to make so it’s a good distraction:)
