I relasped today after 23 days of no self harming.

Honestly it was not intentional at all it happened all by accident I woke up with a huge rash on my face I have no idea where it came from but it was sticky and it hurt like a rug burn. And I left alone for like 3 days and I was trying my very best to keep sane and the rest started to affect the scar and anytime I touched my cheek it hurt. It felt like a blooded bubbled blister. And I can handle it anymore so it went pop. And it deflated and now it doesn't hurt no more and now everything feels okay but now I got to start over but not completely over it's not that bad but it's still bad to the point where it's not in the proper healing stage that I would like it to be in. So I don't know if to call this day one or to take away a couple days or just start over and say this is day one again. But if I didn't do what I did it would have healed absolutely terrible and I honestly and truly believe with all of my being that I made it better and I know for a fact I did because it doesn't feel or look or it's not bubbled up like the way it was it looks like it's ready to heal the way it should like my other side of my face did.

For a long time, Babe Ruth was the home run king. However, he was also the strike out king. Keep fighting.

It's not self harm. You did that to help yourself, not hurt yourself. Don't look at it like a relapse. 🤗

Continue your count as is. A reset will feel like defeat.🤗🤗👍👍💞💞
You did amazing though. 23 days is way longer than ever before and the circumstances were different now, so this relapse doesn't really count.

23 days is a great run. Don’t be discouraged, just try to beat that record.

Hey, don’t focus on tomorrow. Focus on Making it to the next meal. Slow and steady

A lapse does not mean relapse. We're taught this with OCD therapy. You just had a setback. Sometimes we take a step back to take two steps forward.
