So I haven’t self-injured in eight, going on nine months!

It’s hard to keep going but this is the longest period of recovery I’ve had since I was 15. And I’m proud of that.

And so my heart is going out to anyone who is currently struggling with self-injury, whether you are still harming yourself or in recovery. You deserve to not hurt. You deserve positive, non-harmful outlets for your emotions. You deserve recovery.

Battling the urge to self-harm is super hard but we can all do this!
