I self harmed today

[user49638]

Other than a few weeks ago, this is the first time in a while that I’ve done this. I feel like I’m losing my grip on things lately. I’ve been weighing myself, I purged yesterday. I feel like I’m out of control of myself and it scares me. I don’t know what to do.

Welcome! I'm sorry you are struggling right now. Do you have any kind of a support system?

Add it to your list of "things I beat myself up over". Ignore... &/or learn from... Move on.

HELLUVA lot easier said, than done. Still saying it.

progress over perfection, my healing warrior. in my own recovery, i think of these setbacks of nature's way of keeping me from throwing proverbial babies out with the bathwater. my most dysfunctional adult habits started out as survival mechanisms and some of my greatest strengths got caught up in the resulting psycho snot knots. the setbacks are about separating my strengths from the psychotic dysfunctions.

so i believe within my strictly personal recovery. just believing. . .

steadying support while you work your own beliefs. easy does it. be gentle with yourself and patient with the process.

I have a therapist and a pretty wonderful group of friends, so I’m lucky in that regard. I’m just struggling to ask for help.
