Can't find my other post I posted a while ago so I'm sorry to start a new one... My self harm free streak is gone I screwed up and self harmed.

Things just feel too hard so overwhelming and I have no one

Sorry its been tough @bean

Each week start anew.  It helps if you at least have a mental health care team.

If you click on your pic .. your profile should come up with earlier posts.

Hi @bean, its sounds like you're doing it really tough right now - I'm sorry to hear that. I had a look for your previous post you referred to, and perhaps its this one? 

[bean]

Yeah that's it sorry I started a new one

No worries at all @bean, it took me quite a while to learn my way around the forums, and @Appleblossom's tip on how to find your earlier posts is a handy one. 

I like your new avatar btw 🙂

Don't think I will ever learn my way around so stupid of me to even think that I could do this

its ok @bean, the most important thing is that you are using the forums as a way to connect with a supportive community. its positive that you've reached out on the forums, especially as you're going through a hard time

Hi @bean,

I understand that low point of breaking a sh free streak I did the same thing three months ago and it has been hard to try and get back into a streak I am now almost 3 weeks again.

I often feel like I'm in it alone because my family either ignores the fact that I have mental health issues or they just don't understand them.

I found it easier to have friends get me through rather than relying on family. 

I use to not have the wonderful friends that I have now and it was hard to get myself out to meet people most of the friends I have went to the same mental health support group I did.

I know your low now and probably will be for a few days but it does get better if you let it which was another lesson I took awhile to learn.

All the best

Hang in there Bean just like the other posters have already said

it will get better it might just take a little while but try to trust in

the process.  Keep posting here because you are among friends

who really understand your ups and downs.

I had no one to lean until I joined the forum. Gradually things began to change.
