I’ve been trying to find s/h chat rooms for a while now, so I’m glad I came across this one. I’ve been clean for almost 3 months now. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy. I even started working out. I’ve been finishing drawings I’ve started but never finished. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far, might not be much. But I’m proud and I intend to keep it that way. But I’ve been getting urges lately. I’ve been dealing with s/h for years now. Any tips or anything you guys recommend me. Thank you so much and I hope everyone reading this has an amazing day/night.

Hi, welcome to RYL. I hope you find it helpful here. I'm sorry you're struggling at the moment. RYL is quiet these days so it might take a while to get a reply but take a look around too, there might be posts that could help you too. Take care.

Welcome. You have done amazing staying self harm free.
Have you been rewarding yourself? I found making goals then having a reward once I reached them helpful. The thoughts do still come but I’m finding it easier to distract myself by being busy which makes it a good positive that you are finding healthy and constructive ways to stay busy. Take it a day at a time or even an hour at a time if the days feel too much. You’ve got this.
