We're all here for you @River. When you say want to relapse, I assume you mean SH - is that right? You're never alone in our community and we're here to listen and support you through this.
Is there anything you can do to keep yourself busy and look after yourself today?
Remember you don't have to go through this alone. I've popped some services that might be useful for you to look into around support for SH. You're being so brave to keep reaching out about this.
