Progress isn’t linear!! Relapse doesn’t mean failure, it means that you’re still trying. I believe in you, even as a stranger on yikyak. Keep going!

I will never forget the day my therapist told me it was okay to relapse. It doesn’t mean you are weak it means that something brought us back to a coping mechanism that tends to be unhealthy! I’ve been clean now for years! You are not bad! Healing isn’t linear and you are not alone! I’m proud of you for getting back up and trying again!

That actually really helps to hear. I’m trying to take steps…this time I actually reached out to people for help, my friend is taking my knife, and even though it feels so much like attention seeking to ask for help I am because I’m hoping it’s actually going to let me get better

I’m so proud of you I know how hard it is! Know that people are here for you! Even though it’s hard I promise it does get better I’m 20 now and i genuinely thought I’d never make it to 17! Remember it’s okay if it doesn’t get better right away you’re not regressing just need to start reassessing the situation! Again I’m proud of you and I’m glad you’re still here
