*cyber hugs*

How did you get on over Christmas?

You've said you're trying to distract yourself already, but just to expand on that. What kind of distractions are you using? I really like this list of distractions as it breaks it down into different categories depending on what you need. Some of them you'll find really dumb I'm sure, but there's some nice ones in there and it at least gives you options!

Sorry to hear that you self-harmed. I still think it’s an achievement to have held off for all that time and to have only done it once, so well done :)

Sounds like your urges are really persistent and that must be difficult and frustrating. Even if it’s not just back-to-back distraction, would making quite a structured plan of activities/tasks for the day ahead help you to avoid having too much down time for the urges to take over?

Also I just realised that I forgot to include the link I was talking about in my last post- sorry! Here it is: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/po...se-in-recovery

Because you don't deserve it. Because life is too damn short and you've been hurt enough already to spend another minute punishing yourself.

What are you punishing yourself for?

Wasn't it your abusers twisted lack of morality that allowed them to hurt you? Is it fair to blame children for being abused?

It's not that easy to just move on! The fact that you haven't just magically 'moved on' means that you are hurting and suffering, yet you want to punish yourself for the fact that you are hurting and suffering! More hurt because you're hurting? That doesn't seem fair :(

(btw, none of that is criticism in the slightest, just trying to challenge the negative self-talk that you've got going on!)

I'm glad you were doing a little better. Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner but I do hope that you are still doing OK.
