Memory triggers after several months of recovery

[lilred]

I have not cut since March, but I often get random vivid images in my head of old cuts or suicide attempts when I close eyes at night. It's extremely triggering and I'm scared I'll lose my months of recovery. Is this normal? What can I do?

I get this too, even though it has been more than a year since my last attempt. It does get better though... for me the images are much further apart now and much less emotional. I guess part of it is taking the time and focus to learn a new way of thinking.

It's pretty normal.

Everytime I close my eyes memories of suicide attempts and cuts always pop in somewhere. It's part of you, it cannot be changed.
It's part of you, but that doesn't mean you can't make it a smaller part of you.
