On March 9, I ended up relapsing. :( I was supposed to be 100 days clean today but I screwed up at 98 days.

Yesterday, I told one of my best friends that I did it, which was so hard to do, and it was over text message. I sat there for a good 10 minutes with the message all typed out. I was so scared to send it, but I took a deep breath and hit the send button. She talked with me the whole day and helped me out with finding coping methods. I also told my other best friend, which was in person, and she was there for me as well. It was so hard to get it out, and I'm proud of myself for speaking about it.

Once you come out to someone about self harming, it becomes a little easier each time to open up about it when you do it again.

I still find it so hard to tell people, but when I do, it's a huge weight lifted off my chest.

When telling someone, the best thing to do is take a deep breath and just spit it out. I know how difficult it can be, but you need to be strong. You can do it and I believe in you. 😘
