Hitting the one year mark without cutting - ready to majorly relapse?

Taking deep breaths with you from NZ :hug:

Thanks for the deep breaths, @bellbird !
I had a moment with the kid part, hot chocolate and his favourite stuffed animal (a guinea pig). It felt good. I had to ask the two violent parts to withdraw to their own spaces before it was safe for the kid part to surface. But it went well.
So far so good. The urges have been moderate.
Now time for some netflix, letting the violent ones have a small treat for agreeing to retreat while I was having hot chocolate.

Man, living with structural dissociation sure is weird.

Yes! "Teamwork" doesn't need to look like complete cooperation or all the parts pulling together. Honesty about what all the parts are feeling, and compromising where compromise is tolerable and possible is good enough! You're doing great work!

Man, living with structural dissociation sure is weird.

I know. I keep thinking I'm just making this shit up. But I know working through all these parts has made me healthier and happier than I've ever been. My therapist says I couldn't fake everything she sees when the parts come out in session.

Made it through one year without cutting. It’s Saturday now, 9am here, and I’m doing okay. Whatever happens later today, I did manage to stay clean for one whole year.

You superstar!! Big congrats making it through one year ???

I don't have any rice and beans handy, but I was thinking of ya when I was cooking my roast veges for dinner.

Do you have anything planned for today? I can't remember whether you ended up deciding to or not.
Here with you.. :hug:

Party dance for you - awesome achievement:)

 

[Freemartin]

Thank you! I’m starting to be a bit proud of myself... feels good. :)

I’ll go and hang around with some friends later today. It’ll be fun and relaxing. Now I’m chilling out, postponing doing dishes and stuff. Everything’s okay. Whew.

Congratulations and well done Freemartin!

Ha, 20mins left of Saturday. I guess I can say I made it. Tomorrow doesn’t feel like such a big deal. Meaning, there’s no pressure or obsession about relapse. Wow I’m relieved!

Thanks, all of you! You’ve been amazingly supportive!!!
