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?

Just... since last night. I think I'm getting worse instead of better at going longer between relapses. sad

The fact that you're here and you're trying is something to be proud of! <3 Even if you stumble, that doesn't mean you aren't on a path toward recovery. Healing isn't linear and neither is progress. We're always proud of you, even if it's hard sometimes to be proud of yourself. And we're always here to listen when you're going through an emotional crisis and you're feeling like you might relapse again. Come and talk to us and we'll work through it to find some healthier coping mechanisms that stick (:

After cutting consistently almost daily for 3 years, I have been self-harm clean 1 week. Not that big, I know, but 1 week has been really hard.

I started self harming about 10 years ago and have struggled with it on and off since. It has been about 6 months since I last cut myself, which I am pretty proud of. Unfortunately things are getting hard again at the moment and I am worried that I might start to again. Thought I would post my progress as a reminder to myself of how far I have come.

Wow! Six months is pretty impressive. I'm sorry things are getting harder for you now, and I hope things get better for you. I try to take things one day at a time, and I think the most impressive thing is being able to get up and keep going after a temporary setback. I believe in you, and good luck!

Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement, I am currently coping a lot better than I had thought I would. The next 11 days will be the hardest though so trying to keep as positive as possible. Thank you again,
