Hurt myself

[Snitchesgetcandy]

I got drunk and hurt myself for the first time in 4 years tonight. I spent so long fighting this I now just don’t know what to do. I’ve given up, I’m such a failure

Are you ok? Is there anyone you can talk to? X

It’s okay. One incident doesn’t have to destroy all of the hard work and courage you’ve put into keeping yourself well for so long. Are you safe now? Is there anyone you can to make sure you don’t have to be alone? Even if that means taking yourself along to A&E or calling the Samaritans for a chat. Tomorrow is a new day. The sun will still rise. Things will get better.

You've turned a corner by admitting to yourself that this isn't ok for you. That's a huge step. In the morning you will get support and this 'blip' will show you how strong you are and how far you've come.
Stay strong and have self belief. You kicked it for 4 years! That's amazing

Thankyou for your responses, I am ok although so annoyed at myself for doing it. I think I’ll be staying sober until my mental health is a little less fragile as I know I’d have been able to control the urge if I hadn’t have been drinking.
