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?

Actually, it's been over a year for me!

Since going to college and finding the self I wanted to be (for the most part. There's still a lot I have to work on) I have been much happier. I got a new start without being labeled and I was/am given endless opportunities which I never would have got back home. And I don't feel confined.

I also had the chance to become involved in the community and make a difference, which really helped me stop doing such dark things and dark thoughts.

But because I base myself on my social worth (unfortunately I look for others opinions to determine my self worth.... :( but I'm working on that too) I've been very social and I've made many MANY friends which has helped me.

and since college, I haven't once wanted to cut or harm, or even think about suicide. But it's when I'm with my family and my hometown that I slowly fall back into that way of thinking.

But for those of you who still struggle with this daily or weekly or monthly, I just want you to know that I understand what you are going through; it's painful, I know. But you can move past that. You can start smiling genuinely and feel happy again. It's possible. You just have to be ready for the change that will be coming your way. Whether it be going to uni like me, or moving to a new house, getting a new job, etc. Embrace the change and it will embrace you.

Have a great rest of you day everyone!
