Hazard Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My mental health sometimes gets really bad, just out of the blue and for no particular reason. I can feel it getting worse, and I want to make sure I can keep it from plummeting to the bottom of mental health and keep myself fully, or at least mostly, operating. Does anyone have any tips?

It’s kind of like I’ve had all this time to fix everything and I haven’t really succeeded in doing that. Also, every time i look at the date, i think something along the lines of ‘you know what happened this time last year? You were looking at that same date, with your arms stinging under the table’ and especially because I'm so stressed right now, there’s a certain amount of shame and fear of relapsing. I also keep about what could’ve happened last year if i hadn’t ben caught. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you're being really critical of yourself, when really, you were struggling and were looking for a way to cope. I'm wondering, if a friend of yours had been self-harming, how would you respond to them? Would you say kind things? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
