what am i supposed to do now that i’ve reached my goal?

my goal was 2 months clean. i reached it. i have new blades waiting for me that are super sharp and i’ve never used them. i worked really hard to buy them without my mom finding out. what do i do now? do i just relapse? how long am i supposed to stay clean for? i have to relapse at some point, i’m not ready to stop self harm for life.

anyone else get a little irritated at the misconceptions of cutting to bone?

FASCIA AND TENDONS AREN'T BONE!!😭 i have only ever seen 3 bone cuts on the ENTIRE internet. people always call fascia and tendons bone. i don't mean to belittle anyone's self harm, both tendons and fascia should be immediately treated. but people see anything white and assume it's bone. i don't think people realize that in order to see bone, you must also see all of your fat, fascia, and muscle. i can understand, fascia is white and tendons can look like bones but there's so much misconception about what's bone! usually when people have 'cut to bone' it's not bone. obviously if it's on your finger or something, you can easily get to bone, but anywhere else, you'd probably bleed out before you could post about it. just a little rant sorry
