Hey @Angels333
I'm sorry things are crappy for you at the moment.
I'm really glad you've touched base here, as things don't have to get to crisis point before a response can be put in place.
Can I ask who's supporting you at the moment? If you're harming on a daily basis it sounds like you could do with some extra support? Building in distraction techniques, self soothing exercises and alternatives to harming e.g. using ice blocks, that sort of thing could be useful. Typically psychologists delivering CBT can assist with changing behaviours.
Tell me what a normal day is like for you?
Recovery really is an individual journey...
Tell us more about how you came to be in a 'more honest place' and what that involved, if you can share?

Hi @Angels333,
I just wanted to check in with you. How are you doing today?
I'm sorry to hear about the experience with EMDR with your psych. When are you seeing your psychiatrist next?
Hope things are bit brighter today.
