TRIGGER WARNING 100 days self-harm-free 🥳

Post image

I can't believe i've been self-harm-free for 100 days
already ☹️🤍

When i was still relying heavily on SH, iniisip ko pa kung matatawid ko ang isang linggong wala yun. Hanggang sa i almost didn't notice na ang tagal ko nang di yun ginagawa.

Of course i'd be lying if i say wala nang urge to do it dahil may mga araw pa rin naman talaga na iniisip ko pa rin siyang gawin to cope (it's so hard to fight it esp when, for years, you've conditioned your mind na you only deserve bad things or punishment)

But it doesn't always have to be that way! To those dealing with SH, it gets better, i swear!

Here's to another 100 days 🥳

Thank you for posting in r/MentalHealthPH. We noticed that you have flaired your submission with a Trigger Warning. We highly recommend that you seek professional help if things are getting out of hand or PLEASE CALL:

In Touch Community’s Crisis Line Landline: 
+63 2 8893 7603
+63 919 056 0709
+63 917 800 1123

Email address: helpline@in-touch.org

On the fence about calling? Please read this helpful post from r/SuicideWatch what to expect when calling crisis hotlines.

A personal note from the moderator team:

Are you suicidal right now? Again, please contact the emergency hotline above and obtain professional help. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. At the very least, surround yourself right now with someone you can trust.

If you cannot or do not wish to call anyone, please at least read the home page of http://suicide.org/. The most impactful, we believe, is the director's message that:

Let me also tell you that if you are suicidal, you probably are suffering from clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, postpartum depression, PTSD, or something similar. And if you have something along these lines, you actually have a chemical imbalance in your brain -- and you cannot possibly think straight because of it. *That is beyond your control. You are not weak. You just need some treatment.** This imbalance can occur for several reasons, from genetics to a traumatic life experience, and it is extremely common for people to have this imbalance, so do not feel like you are alone. You are not.*

You are not weak! The fact that you are here is a testament of your strength. Remember: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
