So I am out of therapy, I have been in it for nearly 2.5 years since I used to self harm a lot and a couple of suicide attempts. Now on some long term thing where if I get dark feelings again I am supposed to go back ASAP and I have checkups every few months..
It is always difficult coming off of any sort of help. With a commitment of that long, I am sure you feel as though there is a bit of a hole where the therapy used to be. I promise you that the feeling gets better. It may take some time, but if you are feeling that way, it will fade with time. I hope that the therapy did you well and that you don't feel as though you need to self-harm. It would definitely be a good idea to go back if you get those thoughts. I know it is common to feel like going back is a failure, but if you end up feeling that way- it is not. Recovery is an always ongoing process and taking a step back if things get dark again is not a bad thing. Be proud of yourself for how far you've come. <3 Are you alright? How are you feeling? I hope that you are doing alright and find comfort where you need it.
