[Kimberley456]

Iv had a great couple of weeks iv felt much better in myself iv had no thoughts of self harming, but the last few days iv been feeling down again and self harmed yesterday :( why do I get to where I want to be and then here it goes again paranoid kimberley is back moody and generally just feeling low. I'm sick why can't I just feel happy. There's so much difference from last Friday to now but don't no how I can go from being happy to being so down that quick.

Anyone else feel the same? X

Hi Kimberely

I think we all have setbacks when we are getting better. I've had a few days in a row where I don't have any symptoms and then boom it seems to hit me harder the next time. I don't know what else to say except try to not let these setbacks turn into a full relapse. Just think that you were feeling a lot better so you have proved to yourself that you can do this and you can make a full recovery.

And don't forget it's been Christmas an loads of us have found this more stressful as its knocked us out of our usual routines.

Just don't lose faith and keep doing whatever you were spin to get you feeling good in the first place and don't fall back into bad habits.

All the best hun
