Hi there,

I'm sorry things sound as though they have been rough for you. Most people in recovery from self harm relapse and although you promised yourself and your best friend you wouldn't hurtn yourself again, you shouldn't feel guilty about it. I would advise against you promising people this in the future though to prevent the feelings of guilt you are having.

Can I ask if there was anything that triggered the urged to hurt yourself? bYou haven't said a lot about what or if anything is going on for you right now but I want you to know that if there is something, and you need to talk to someone about it, that we're always here. We'll listen and we'll do our best to support you through anything causing you distress.

It's absoultely wonderful that you tried using some distractions. I think thats great! Now remember, different things work for different people and it's all abour tiral and error; if something does not help you, don't give up. Keep on trying new things. It might be really good if you keep a list of all the things which you don't feel really help you too.

You can do this and you're worth so much more than the pain you're putting yourself through so keep on fighting and don't be alone. I don't know why you don't want your family to know but remember they care and love you and I feel sure they would want to be able to support you if you let them.

Hang in there,
Jessie
