New here, I'm 8 days clean of self harm

It’s already been hard. I can’t even say I’ve been feeling better because I’ve still not been doing well at all. I guess I’ve just been able to distract myself from my urges to cut or burn myself. I hope I can make it to 10.

Thank you! I feel a little ashamed coming here when I’m not addicted to a substance. I guess this doesn’t seem as serious or as hard to fight. But for me it very much feels like an addiction and is really hard for me to fight.

I feel you… well done, recovery is slow but it’s not always linear, relapse is part of recovery as we can grow stronger from the low points
