Trying to let go
So I had made up my mind that self harming was no longer helping me and I needed to stop but how do you give up something that has helped you for so many years.
In the first weeks I was definitely giving up self harm to make the people around me happy. I knew they were worried about me and I felt like I owed them to at least try. Sometimes, I almost resented them for forcing me to give up the coping mechanism I knew so well.
Suddenly, as the weeks became months, I realised that I was giving up for ME. I wanted to do this and I was starting to believe that I could suceed!
