I Used to Self Harm
I had been self harming for about 2 1/2 years prior to stopping and I still miss it daily. It took two inpatient stays for me to finally get my shit together. Self harm was one of my best friends, sadly, for it could comfort me in a way no one else could. It's always there in the corner throughout the day waiting for me to slip up and suddenly need it again. It became something safe to me but it was so damaging to all of the other aspects of my life. Though self harm will always be a part of me, I feel free knowing it no longer controls my life.I hope things stay this way.
