i think its time for me to leave this subreddit
ive never posted here, only looked at posts and stuff. but im 1 year 2 months as of last week i believe. back when i was still cutting, i never though i would see this day. i always thought it would end with me seeing an early grave. but one day, i broke up with my ex. at one point she tried to help, but then she started and it got hard to do well for myself when she would glorify it and send pictures of her fresh cuts. that day, something snapped. i downloaded an app and decided i would never restart that streak. and i never did.
my point is, a lot of you are still in the low point of your journeys, where you think its never going to end. im here to tell you that it will. if you have no reason to quit, relapse, or break your clean streak, then ill give you one: do it so that one day, you get to experience the feeling of knowing that you overcame those days.
if you read that and believe that you are an outlier and that things will never get better for you, im going to tell you flat out that youre dead wrong. no matter if its a week, a month, or five years from now, better days are coming for you, and those better days are not in death.
even if you consider yourself to be too weak to last until it blows over, youre not. that strength is there, and one day you will find out how to use it. i promise.
good luck on your journeys, everybody. never stop looking ahead to those better days.
goodbye.
