I had a bad day the other day. I relapsed. Bad. I've been dealing with anxiety and depression my whole life. I went to therapy but stopped when I thought I was getting better. I cut, I punched, I pulled my hair out. I've been clean for almost a week now. I'm proud of that.
Tips to stay clean?

For me, being on my own and boredom are triggers for dangerous thoughts. If I don't speak to anyone for a few hours, I start thinking unhelpful thoughts. I come on here to reply to people's posts, or I take a walk down to the shop.
Consider asking for a further course of therapy. Also consider diversions and hobbies to keep your mind away from the negativity you suffer at various times. Try not to dwell on negative feelings that can cause you to start cutting or hurting yourself, sometimes if possible talk to someone who you can trust hopefully this as well may help you reassess the thoughts and actions that crowd your mind
