I'm really struggling with thoughts of self harm right now. I'm 3 weeks clean but the thoughts won't go away. my friends haven't texted me in 4 days even though I'm constantly texting them, trying to get a response. I hate being so attached to people that if you leave me alone for too long I think you hate me and I can't bare it. I need them. They're probably busy cause that happens a lot and I don't want to relapse because they're not responding cause then I'd feel guilty cause what if they think it's their fault? I really am trying but it's getting so overwhelming

try other coping methods that don't involve people when you have the thoughts and have trouble dealing with them. a lot of the methods seem cheesy but work if you focus on them enough. i like drawing on myself with a sharpie because i can make cool pictures, and listening to music helps as long as it's not too heavy. playing games, even shitty mobile games, to distract yourself can help. basically, if your friends are busy, make yourself busy too until they respond. try not to check too often and instead get absorbed in tv shows or movies, games, music, art, or any other safe hobbies you have
