I just wanted to give someone hope

Positives

I just wanted to make this post to give someone hope on not giving up and that yes, it does get better! I started self harming in my early 20s and honestly up until a couple months ago right before turning 30. I didn’t have the most healthy home life growing up and I’m sure that’s where a lot of my depression stems from. My self harm got extremely dangerous and consistent when I was married for 4 years in a dead bedroom situation. I think I hated myself the most during that time. After getting out of that, I finally found some peace but then shortly after got into another relationship. The relationship made me feel so alive but when it ended I went right back to some of my old self-harming tendencies. Now that some time has passed, I found myself being happy again. I moved across the country, got a new job, got new hobbies, and filled my own cup. I know I still have a long way to go but I sometimes think a change of environment can do wonders for your mental health. There is light at the end of the tunnel <3
