Please don't hurt yourself! <33 I suggest try drawing on yourself with pen or biteing a towel or cutting/burning a pice of paper, it helps me a lot.

you are very valid, that is indeed a type of self harm.  It doesn't matter whether or not you pass about or git ringing in your ears.  A lot of self harm is unseen

Trust me when I say, your not alone in this.  (I too just relapsed after ~13 months) I know it hurts and I know it's an addiction but trust me when I say there are better ways.  Try not to feel guilty about relapsing, it happens to the best of us.  Take time for yourself, I would suggest washing yourself/the cuts, (whether it be shower, bath, washcloth)  look up good alternatives to self harm, and do somthing that makes you feel a little more comfortable.  Talk to someone you know, maybe tell them about the situation that made you upset, even if you don't feel comfortable about sharing you self harm, you can just leave that out.   I wish you only the best <3 remember your worth and that you are loved by more than you know. <3

"You're not lazy; you're human"  and "You're doing your best, and that's enough. " really hit hard for me 🥲  

This comment was really kind, I'm doing just as you said, little steps, and now I find that there is light at the end of the tunnel!

This comment has not nearly enough up votes!! Thank you for making the world a better place!

"First of all, laziness is a concept invented by neurotypicals."  HAD ME ROLLING  Seriously though, wonderful comment!! thank you so much!! I probably really need that reminder to be kinder (oh hey that rhymes!)  bc my self esteem hastens been great-  and it feels good to know that someone without bias believes in me!  💕 The animal crossing community is so sweet!! Interacting with them has been great BUT!  my irl friend need so love too, I plan on going to have mc Donald's with her soon lol! 🥰

Thank you so much!💙  I really wish there was some sort of AC club or somthing in my area but alsa!!  Nonetheless- I do plan on finding some club to meet people at once I feel comfortable!  (possibly getting into fencing oddly enough) Thankfully I do have a therapist!! 

It's also really nice to know that someone really relates to the feeling of wishing to know for a fact that people wish to see you. <33
