Relapse

[tracymarrs99]

So hey. I feel so disappointed in myself because I relapsed yesterday. I realize that I need help, but I don't want to be that girl. You know the girl who cuts herself and needs to go see a therapist because she's crazy. I just don't know.

It's not actually that bad, getting therapy and such.

I can't say you shouldn't be afraid of being that person, but, there are many like you. I know it seems scary at first. seeing therapists, being an inpatient, but it helps. I actually got out. Sure people will treat you different and look at you weird but, its worth it. I can't diagnose whether you do or dont need help. Some people grow over it themselves, some cant. But no one can make that descision for you

Therapy is not bad, it's there to help you so you get better. Don't think you're crazy because of some people thinking that. Realizing that you need help is already a great start! You don't have to feel dissapointed, how weird it may sound but relapsing is only natural when dealing with self harm. I hope you'll get help soon, stay strong, you can do it! ;)

It is very good you have decided you need to get some help in order to stop the habit. I understand how hard it is to stop cutting. Though when you look to the future I guarentee you will be much happier. Sometimes people need a nudge and that is okay. You are not crazy, if you were, I would be as well.
Feeling better is a big part of getting help. You will, it may take some time, but you will for sure feel better about yourself.

Hey Tracy~ I understand your disappointment, I know it gets so frustrating and upsetting when we relapse. I want you to know that relapsing is okay because there are those times when we fall back; and standing back up again is what counts and matters. We don't stay standing all the time, we get knocked down and crushed sometimes. And that's something really hard to bounce back from but I believe in you. Realising that you need help is an amazing thing which you should be proud of. I don't think you are crazy, you simply need help to feel okay and happy again. It's okay to want and need help. I hope everything has been okay lately~

Thank you guys so much for all the support. I started going to therapy recently, and it's actually not as bad as I thought. There are still times that I feel I need to cut, but I'm trying really hard to stop. And thanks again, everything you guys said really meant a lot to me.:)

Hey that is good - and so good you added this after your first post.
I am sure it must have been hard to organise and even ask for help. Good you got appointments so quickly. I hope things go well for you.

You need to remember that no matter what you are totally in control of your own body at all times.
