how long have you been self harm free? (possible trigger warning: SH)
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?
Around 8 hours now
2 months and counting, the urges are hard to stop and they haven't.
You're doing amazing keep fighting!
4 years. I think about it all the time but I've learned to channel that energy into crafting or other hobbies. Also tattoos help me feel better as well. I know that's not an option for everyone (even me right now). For anyone out there struggling with this, just realize that no matter how good the scars feel and no matter how much the pain won't go away, it's only temporary and there are better ways to dealwith what you're going through. Music, hobbies, Netflix, games...and please know that you're still a wonderful awesome person, evenif you relapse. This is a great community and I'm glad to be here. :)
Very eloquently put :)
4 days going strong
I had been self harm free for 4 weeks, but I self harmed yesterday so only 1 day. I feel really guilty
Don't feel guilty, I think what matters is that you try again.
Today is day 30. Not sure how much higher that number will go since I have been having a lot of strong urges lately.
Keep calm, the urges will ease with time. Have you learned any distraction/soothing techniques? I know a few if ya like :)
I have some distractions, they don't always work, but they are usually pretty good when the urges aren't strong. I see my therapist Thursday, I usually hope she can help, but I keep trying different things.
The main thing is to keep trying and never give up! Just hang on til you see your doc, I know it can be rough waiting :)
Painting beautiful pictures on yourself helps some
About 2 years now. I still once in a blue moon get my urges to want to hurt myself either by burning or cutting.
6 days clean !! 1 week tomorrow (:
