I Need Reassurance (20M) ❤️‍🩹

Venting Post!!

This is my first post here and I don’t know if I’m in the right place, but I’m hopeful anyway.
It’s been about 6 weeks since I last hurt myself, and I’ve been doing pretty well. I haven’t had an urge to sh or anything, until today.
Today has been a bad day. A really bad one. I’m in a complicated situation with 2 people I care about, who have both upset me. Usually this alone wouldn’t be enough to make me spiral, but I suppose it doesn’t help that I’m struggling with my mental state at the moment, and other stresses in life are complicating matters. For the first time in weeks, I’m tempted to hurt myself. I don’t want to, I truly don’t. I don’t want another scar on my body. But I’m sure that there’s someone out there who understands when I say when it becomes a coping mechanism to deal with stress, it’s a difficult habit to stop. I just need a bit of reassurance, or maybe just a kind word to help me through my spiral. Just please be gentle ❤️‍🩹
