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?

You have to start somewhere. You can stop. Relapses mean nothing. Start again.

Is there anyway to stop the urge of hurting myself?

I am not trained at all so my advice probably isn't the best but I would always go for a run. As long as you don't overexert yourself, the discomfort is actually healthy

I think that it may die down with time. I know for me I have to change my thinking pattern when they come but they haven't stopped. I'm not sure if there are ways of stopping it Or not. It'd be best to ask a professional rather than us.

Relapses mean nothing. You can start again. It doesn't make you weak. They happen You start again.

Don't see it as a sign of weakness. If it is a coping mechanism for you it can be hard to change your habits... Take pride in every milestone you reach in your journey. I believe in you.

i hurt myself every day in ways that prevent marks,


but ive made it 13days without any form of cutting or bruising

Try snapping a elastic band on your wrist. Without cutting and bruising is a huge step. And 13 days is amazing. You can keep it up.

Try a hair band instead of elastic band. It does the same job but elastic bands tend to leave marks and can break the skin if used too much. Hope this add on is okay turtle?
