Today is 2 months since I last cut myself, and it’s a bittersweet feeling.
I go in spurts of time where I won’t cut for up to 3 months then I’ll start doing it weekly or more. I know that after I had my consultation for surgery, I stopped cutting because I didn’t want them to think I was too mentally unstable for surgery. I am now 10 days post op and recovering.
I’ve been having some self harm urges but like, I’m recovering from surgery right now and it wouldn’t be a good idea. I try very hard to distract myself. I remind myself that if I cut I may need the hospital for stitches and I REALLY don’t want to go back there. My medication while I recover also makes me dizzy and loss of blood could make me pass out. These are the things I must continue to tell myself in order to stay cut free.
It feels good to be able to say I’m self harm free for 2 months. At the same time, it’s making me feel this extreme urge to start up again. I guess it’s like a self sabotage thing. Part of me says yay keep going you’ve got this. The other part says no you need to cut now. I’m going to try so very hard to listen to the side that says keep going you’ve got this. Hopefully I can continue recovering from self harm.
On a other note, I will eventually make a post about my surgery, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
