Has it really been 10 years?

Tonight I was incredibly low, wanting to self-harm. I journaled and then looked up my old tumblr that I used to document my depression and anxiety for years. I then realized how long it’s really been that I’ve felt the same things. I have the same insecurities. I have the same problems processing conflict. It feels like things will never change and that makes me incredibly overwhelmed.

For those of you who have some years under your belt, how do you manage this?

Oh geez, I have so many years under my belt and am sorry to say I still don't have all the answers. Of my many issues outright self harm is not one; I still find ways to harm myself in more subtle ways. It's a serous issue and one that many of us here suffer from. I suggest you go to the search bar and put in "self harm" to see what others have experienced.
