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?

About three years... Though when I get the urge to self-harmI scratch/pinch myself or pluck my body hair so it doesn't leave scars.

I've been struggling for about 4 years and although I manage to make it months and months I always relapse but I'm very proud and think this is the time I never do it again. About 3 months!!!! Same with eating disorder(:

Try using a self-harm alternative when you feel the urge to harm yourself. Here is a list:http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-self-harm/t9418-alternatives-self-harm/

Thanks! But I find that alternatives aren't really for me, I knew that from first day of trying to recover, reason why I relapsed so much.

About a week, but I think the longest I've ever gone is like 4 months. I think it's safe to say I'm right back at it again, I've given up on trying to stop, nothing works
