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?

For 6 years laugh

And now I can't stand the thought of getting hurt never mind hurting myself.

I wouldn't say I love myself 100% but I have learned the value of myself. And not hurting myself feels like a gift.

Life still gets hard, my problems are a lot bigger than when I was younger but I just got stronger ..

To everyone still struggling with this, I just want you to know that you are amazing and beautiful and you will get through this, you're stronger than you might believe..

@YayyySphere thank you! That really means a lot to me! It's not easy at all but I just want to give people a little ray of hope because I know what it feels like. It's really hard and seems like an endless cycle but there's always hope! laugh

@coldxweather Yeah, I understand that it can be frustrating- and it's normal to feel the urge to do it again. But the more important thing is to fight the urge and resist the temptations. smiley I believe in you! And I'm really proud of you to be able to resist self-harming for 8 months+! Slowly, but surely, you can walk out of this! laugh

@crazymeezy a year and seven months is fantastic! There's always going to be temptations but all that matters is that you're staying strong despite everything going on. I believe you can beat this because you are strong!

41 days. I was free for over two years before that, and had no urges for the same amount of time.
