Really want to quit but keep getting worse

[IdleButDeadly]

I've been struggling with quitting for a good 6 months or more now. I have been able to go a few months at a time, but it seems like THIS slip up I can't seem to get a grip on my recovery again. I'm still working closely with my therapist and it's been hard work! I'm wondering if those who have quit a good long while, if you found when you tried to quit things got worse before they got better?

I haven't completely quit yet but have been doing much better than I have in a long time. I know for me a first things did get worse before they got better. Keep working closely with your therapist and be open about you feelings and concerns. You can get through this.

Hey,

Stopping self harm is hard, are there some things which helped you in the past which you could use now?

How have things been since you posted?

Feeling kind of the same... I have a huge list of alternative releases to cutting, I just have trouble using them in the moment :/
