I went for four weeks without si which is huge for me but then today i ruined it. i was arguing with my mom and she slapped me across the face in fornt of her friend and her friends family and nobody said anything to her. i was so upset that i self-harmed. i just cant believe i did that . i have been out of the s.af.e. program for two weeks now and i cant believe i did this. i though i had gotten past this. im just so angry with myself. how do i deal with messing up?
thats ok i am sooo proud of you for those 4 weeks and this is just a small bump in the road please calll me i want to know how you are. and remember just because you slipped up doesnt mean that you have to give up
I’m in the same boat you are, meaning I am struggling to deal with the slip-ups. What I have tried to do is put the slip behind me and just not focus on it, except when I have to take care of what I have done — however I nurture myself like what I did was an accident because I’m in recovery, not actively hurting myself. I slipped up, so I deserve to take care of the accident and then just do the best I can to not focus on it the rest of the time. I know it’s hard…
