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?
6 months...but only because my mom found out...
Your mom (and everyone else!) just want you to be safe and not hurt yourself. I know you don't know me but I also wish you safety and a clear, calm mind. There are some fantastic coping mechanisms out there too! You are strong and capable, you can regain control over your life! Just remember we're all all community and we're all here to help.
I had been clean for 1 month but i self harmed today, i hate myself for it. Sorry mom :(
Don't hate yourself, it was a mistake and once you accept that you can forgive yourself and move on. Keep trying and always hope :)
I have been clean for a week now. It's extremely hard, but I'm willing to keep pushing at it.
Congratulations :)
I'm been clean for about 3 months, but I came close to selfharming again a couple of nights ago.
You should be proud that you didn't. I know it's incredibly hard to pull yourself back. A technique I found helps is plunging your face into a basin of cold water, it causes what's called 'divers response', immediately lowering your heart rate, lowering your body temperature and generally cooling you down! You can keep a cold pack in the fridge for emergencies :) Best of luck
I was clean no self harm at all for 6 months. Then last night I ruined it.
You didn't ruin it it was a relapse, en error in judgement, a MISTAKE. You are not defined by your mistakes but by your achievements and you can stay clean again :)
Been clean for about 7 months now, but a recent event is going to change that tonight
Please please reconsider. You're doing so well. Try the diver response instead. Pop your face into a basin of cold water for awhile it lowers your body temperature and slows your heart rate. Ring a friend of family member. Get someone to keep you company. If you can't just stay online and talk to me! What happened to make you feel like this?
I have been clean for a year and a half now. Positive feedback and friendship have gotten me through it. And I am willing to return the favor with anyone that would like to talk about their self-harm.
Two and a half weeks. Been doing cognitive behavioural therapy and it's very helpful. I have relapsed before but I'm feeling confident that I can control this.
Almost a month 3 weeks 1 day really missing my mom and totally disgusted in my junkie brother and my father that doesnt get me or try too at all Im gonna be 24 October will they ever know and understand how they hurt me, I jalso feel awful stressed my gfs birthday is on friday I want to make it perfect but im broke i hope i can figure something out :"(
I'm really sorry you're having a rough time. I'm sure your mom is proud that you've been clean for three weeks. Drug abuse is hard yo watch, and maybe your dad just can't wrap his head around it YET but I'm sure he will in time. Maybe print off some info for him? As for your GF I bet she doesn't care about a gift, you could make her a handmade card! Ohh and look up homemade face masks and put one into a glass jar, just make a label? I'd love that! I'm 25 by the way so she might have similar interests :)
Made it to 30 days
