Hi, I am new here
Hi,
I am not entirely sure what i am doing here... other then i am looking for others who struggle with self-harm/ urges.
I am almost 27 years old, and i am a mother to a sassy 5.5 year old daughter. I am in a good relationship with her father.
I am not sure how much we should be sharing here.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar type 2 and social anxiety at 18 years old (2010) and in 2016 (at 24 years old) i was additionally diagnosed with borderline personalty disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. I take daily medication and see my doctor once a month as well as counseling every two weeks.
I have been struggling with my mental health yet again, over the many months but it got worse after our house caught fire July 29th. We lost everything, but all of us and our pets were okay. Currently we are staying in trailers and looking for a house to move to, but it has been challenging to say the least.
I have been really struggling with self-harm urges, and smoking many cigarettes a day... more then i used to. I recently slipped and ended up self-harming.
Really i am just looking for others who relate, and what others do to fight the urges and manage to not slip
Thanks
