SH again

I am in recovery and was doing so well…but I’ve been stressed and some relationships got bumpy and I relapsed and SHed again. I know recovery isn’t linear but I still feel so guilty because I was doing SO well. Another new aspect of this guilt is knowing that certain people now have scars on my body assigned to them. I HATE that, they don’t deserve that and I feel weak for allowing that to happen.

How am I supposed to move on from this when the wounds are still there and I have that constant reminder?

I'm sorry to read about your recent relapse.

That's a difficult question to answer. I think the answer would come in therapy. There has to be a way to redirect this.

No one has mentioned the subject in this light as far as I remember. I never thought about what it feels like to look at the wounds and relate them to people/events.

I hope you find a way to free yourself from this
