Would it help if you talked to someone about it? Sometimes, speaking to someone is helpful

OP I'm so so proud of you

Remember recovery isn't linear, if a relapse does happen it doesn't make you weak, it makes you incredibly strong for wanting to continue in your recovery. You're doing amazing !!

Do not beat yourself up about relapsing! Negative thinking and self-harm is a cycle and breaking it can take time - please know that a relapse does not make you weak or a failure

and do not be afraid to talk to someone about this if you feel comfortable to do so.

You did really well to get to 5 days in your first attempt - you should be proud of yourself!

And you're already set on beating that target - all of this shows how incredibly strong you are

You're doing an amazing job and we're very proud of you!

Hi.
Honestly, I think that you're really brave for writing about all of this and documenting what you're going through.
Please try not to feel bad about relapsing. The best way to see it is you were five days clean after being stuck in a routine of doing it, and having the effort to break that pattern is really impressive.
I can see you have got your mind set on beating that target, and you will. We're all here for you and you're doing amazing

So true what everyone has already said @Past User , it makes complete sense to feel annoyed at yourself, just in the sense that this is such a complex situation for you. Life is rarely so simple as one straight road and the fact that you're even attempting to not self-harm is pretty damn impressive. We love and support you, no matter what and are all so grateful you're choosing to take us on this journey with you
