Anyone else feel like no matter how much progress they make, or how often they try to “ look at the bright side “ they always end up back where they started?

I’ve been self harming for so long now that I’ve honestly accepted that it’s always going to be a part of me, same with suicidal thoughts. I don’t think I’ll ever truly recover or get better, even if there are lengths of time where I am happy.

Self harm for me has always been a quick coping tool, when I’m overwhelmed I tend to look for instant relief and for me that comes from cutting myself. It’s unfortunate but I don’t know if it’s better to accept it or to hate myself even more for it lol. This concludes my sort of rant
