I have accepted that although close relationships may end, I can continue to live a fulfilling life and can form strong relationships with new people who may be even better for me. I have stable opinions on people in my life that do not change on a whim. I know if I have to "lash out" to keep someone close that relationship isn't healthy in the first place.

I have realized I used to unintentionally use mental health crises as a trump card in arguments and interpersonal conflicts, and I no longer do that. I had thought I was doing the right thing by voicing my genuine thoughts of suicide and self-injury to those who cared about me, but have realized-- and have completely stopped-- bringing up suicidal thoughts during interpersonal conflicts because of the unintentionally manipulative impact they can have. (Instead, when those thoughts arise, I will voice them to someone else if I feel like I need external support. Who would have guessed that would be better? :P)

I have not intentionally self-harmed in almost a year, which was something that usually took the form of exposing myself to triggering content online. I now protect myself from my triggers when I know I can't handle them and do not seek them out for the sense of validation I used to derive from that.

I still struggle with a sense of identity but I am working on that. But I am considerably less angry, less dissociative, and I have a stronger sense of identity than I used to. :)
