TW Self injury. I don't know what to do. I'm having a really bad self injury relapse. It started with me re-breaking my clavicles and some of my ribs and now I can stop scratching. And my therapist is taking care of her sister in florida for the week. Please to advise?

Anon, I’m sorry you’re going through such a difficult time. Please stay strong, you can make it through this. 

Please call hotlines or crisis lines for any additional support you need. There are trained personnel on staff to answer you questions and listen to whatever is on your mind. 

Please read these posts  ways to avoid self-injury and alternatives to self-harm. These blogs are also great support networks for people who self-harm: stopthepainnow & lets bandage it up.  These are also a great sites confessionsaboutselfharm & selfharmtruths.

I strongly encourage you to call your therapist [if that is an option].

In the meanwhile, use coping mechanisms or talk to someone to take pressure off your mind and to distract you. Take care of your body. [Placing ice on the hurt areas, going to a doctor so the bones heal properly] and please please take it easy and be kind to yourself. 

Relapse is just a part of recovery. It doesn’t mean you’re weak or anything. You’re very strong for coming here to talk and you have it in you to fight through this. I hope your recovery continues well. 

Feel free to leave messages in our ask box at any time. You are not alone!
