"Go ahead, it's not a big deal"

So recently I've tried to manage things a little better. I've made some friends here and they've been helping so much. I even started going to therapy...I had my second appointment the other day. I know it's not too long but I haven't cut in a week and that's a big thing for me considering that i've only been getting worse until recently. I can go 2-3 weeks before relapsing and even my relapses are much smaller than they used to be. I felt like I needed to sh last night and I still felt that way this morning and someone I was talking to (not from RYL) said "go ahead. 1 week doesn't even mean anything, don't be dramatic."

Now I'm sitting here super unsure of what to do. I'm fighting so hard and I don't want to give in again.

One week IS something and you're not being dramatic, it's really brave to trynot to SH. Keep fighting. X

I remember how hard it was for me to get to a week free. It was tough!

And a week is a lot. It's the beginning of something bigger and that matters.

One week is a huge accomplishment! Every you feel like cutting and don't is a victory in and of itself. Don't listen to anything anyone tells you. You successes mean EVERYTHING.
Hang in there. <3
