how long have you been self harm free? (possible trigger warning: SH)
I've seen this sort of thing on a couple of other sites.
It's to put your accomplishments, relapses or anything you want it to be
you could post every day if you need to or once a month, no accomplishments too small.
and if you relapse, you are strong. and you can do this.
I will try get back to as many people as I can and if you need message me on here.
if this doesn't work oh well, but id like to see it work.
Hope you are liking all the cute cat pictures! [v] here is your next clue, where can you introduce yourself if you're new to the subcommunity this month?
A day
relapses happen. they dont mean that you are weak however, stay strong!
I can't anymore
Well my objective cutting myself was to liberate anger, it never worked, I feel nothing. I internalize everything and for me pain doesn't give relief or pleasure...just nothing...the only time I got some calmness was when I broke one part of my bed...so maybe I will stop the self harm thing for a while
Self harm really doesnhelp. And well done for taking that step in trying to stop. Well done, keep it up?
I was released from the hospital 2 months ago and have been clean ever since. I have been breaking and punching inexpensive things as an alternative though...
So its great youve been clean for 2 months. Have you tried punching your pillows or getting a boxing bag?
I'm almost 1 month and 2 weeks clean but it's really difficult and the urges keep getting stronger
urges are strong, but you are stronger. 1.5 months is amazing though!
1 week clean
but struggling !!
1 week is amazing...
you are stronger than the urges though.
Aww thanks Hun!
It's been extremely hard but it's been worth it
I am 3 days clean. However I feel really shit about myself as I have plans to continue tonight. I feel really shit
relapses do happen. but they dont mean anything. if you break, you break. youretrying to stop though, so you will manage to do so.
CCud u guys be more specific about ten urges and clean thing
what do you mean?
I am over a year and a half clean from self-harm. I have relapsed many times, I refused to see my relapses as failures, but as me falling and needing to get up and keep going. I was practically addicted to harming myself: My thighs, my wrists, my chest, my stomach, myhips. I'm really proud of myself and it gets easier the longer I've gone without it, of course I still have occasional thoughts but they no longer hold power over me. I wish the best of luck to everyone who is currently trying to stop self-harming, I believe in you.
youre doing amazingly. and youre right aboiut them not being failures... they do happen unfortuantly
1 week, 1 day clean 💞😊
Absolutely fantastic, I'm proud of you.
woo! nice! keep it up
Relapsed today ! I'm so dissapointed!
That's completely okay, it's part of getting better! Don't beat yourself up about it. We're all here for you.
A month or two, I actually don't count because I try to keep it off my mind. When I realise I haven't cut in a long time I get triggered really easily. On the other hand I don't actually even care about whether I'm clean or not. I allow myself to relapse at times, so it doesn't get to the point where I go too far and then it's too late to say "oops". Of course I try my best to fight the urge which is quite rare for me nowadays but if I really can't I accept it and start again. Recovery to me is stepping forwards and allowing myself to step backwards but still knowing that the only way I can go is up, even though it really doesn't feel that way the most of the time.
I'm glad to hear you try to stay safe ! Two months is a lot ,congrats ! :D
