Hey Bella,

I am sorry that you slipped up. Things must be pretty bad for you right now to have self harmed after 2 years. However, I can't even say just how amazing 2 years is! That is such an amazing achievement. 2 whole years is such a long time to go without self harm and just shows that you can do it! What helped you over the last 2 years not to self harm? Something must have helped you to get this far so perhaps that could help you right now.

Bella you have only slipped up so try to be too hard on yourself. Slip ups happen to everyone really when trying to give up self harming. They are part of recovery and what really matters is how you move on after a slip up. Now you can pick yourself up and try to move on and realise just how fantastic 2 years is and that you can do it Or you can beat yourself up about it. But that isn't going to help.

You can stop self harming like you have already shown. Your boyfriend obviously cares about you loads. Perhaps you could talk to him about it? You don't have to be alone with any of this. You haven't disappointed anyone. You are just going through a hard time and felt there was no other way to deal with things other than self harm.

If you need anything at all then I am always more than happy to listen. You can stop and you will get there so don't give up
