I just want others opinions on this. Or else I might just do what my intrusive thoughts tell me to do.
So like, I used to do sh for like 3 years maybe. And last year, I wanted to go clean. I did. I stopped doing sh for 1 year or so but recently, in last few months, I went back to it again. Now I am contemplating whether I should stop it again or not. The reason I am contemplating is that since I have continued sh again, I should try new ways of doing it, like for experimental and curiosity reasons. (I blame Poppy war for this).
No, you should stop and not look for other alternative harmful ways. Though I will suggest when you feel this way, make paper stars they're actually really easy search it up. It's to keep your hands busy.
Clay, playdo or slime play with them whenever you feel stressed out. Don't resort to SH again, it's unhealthy and you shouldn't be harming yours...... reply
Do not start again!!
You've been clean a year, dont relapse!
Try to do something that's a bit mind numbing and won't make you feel like starting again, read something funny, start a new hobby etc.
I hope you feel better soon reply
