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?

I was self harm free for 3 years. I had a relapse yesterday but I feel ashamed, it only made me feel briefly better and reminded me why I resisted for the last 3 years. So yeah only a day completely free but I see it as a massive step to getting free forever.

@TheNightSky -

3 years self harm free is an

amazing accomplishment!

You should be proud of going that long without harming yourself. :) It is a truly massive step in getting free from self harm, and for that you should be proud.

Keep trying, keep resisting the urge, and keep on keeping on!

I wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery.

heart Stay Strong heart

You have to start somewhere, day one turns into day two, which turns into day three. I've been through my own self harm routine several times. As of this date I'm close to 8 months self harm free. You can do this!!! :)

If you want to talk to someone about what it's like, someone who knows how it feels, please send me a message.

Best of luck
