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 don't have an exact number but I'm guessing 4 or so years. Not that it doesn't mean 1. I haven't thought of it. Or 2. There are other things besides what I used to do?

For me, it's been about a year. I've thought about it so much, but all I have to do is take a deep breath and tell myself I will be okay

@Sunshine020280 that's amazing! A year and 3 days is a big accomplishment!! smiley

I know it's hard to stay clean, but the only thing that really matters is that you stayed strong that day and didn't give in.

Keep staying strong and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here!

@kathellsing thanks for the reply. I need to talk. I'm ready to ruin it and self harm now! I tried to send you a message to talk about 20 min ago but the site won't let me. It told me I'm not allowed to talk to teenagers. I need to talk to someone

@Sunshine020280 okay, I hope I'm not too late, but try to delay the urge. Take your tool and freeze it, so if you want to use it, you'll have to wait until it unfreezes. Please do this once you read this if you can.

Try doing whatever makes you feel better like drawing, writing, cooking, watch TV, anything to get your mind off the urge. Try taking a cold bath or shower if you want, because I heard that, that also helps.

Try these sites! They will help! Or try talking to people on here, there are listeners you can talk to that might help.

Stay strong, and even if you relapse, it's okay. Just try. I hope I'm not too late.

@kathellsing you would have been to late! However, I can honestly say I started texting a friend and she talked to me and calmed me down! So I didn't do anything stupid!

@Sunshine020280 okay, as long as you feel better now. But can you do the things I listed above if you get another urge? And that's great that you talked to a friend! That's a good alternative!
