TW self harm

About 26 years ago I self harmed a few times. I told my BF at the time and he was so concerned and made me promise not to do it again, so I didn't.

A few years ago I did during the pandemic. I think I went on antidepressants and got past that.

I'm having another mental health blip and am on antidepressants again. They were helping but this last week has been hard and I'm feeling the urge to self harm again.

I don't really understand it and I don't know what to do about the urge. Do I just acknowledge it and wait for it to pass?

What do I do about the things that are causing to me to feel this way - do I just need to suffer them out in silence?

Have you had therapy? What is causing you to self harm, you need to get to the root of the problem and sort it out...you are atleast acknowledging it so you are fully aware that you shouldn't be doing it, don't give in to it ...fight your demons and seek help ..maybe you need to change your meds and definitely speak to someone professional. Wishing you all the best, I hope you feel better soon xx
