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?
After 3 years I'm proud to say I'm 1 year clean as of yesterday
It happened Monday. It's been almost 13 years and when he broke me I shattered. Cutting ended up being the safer solution.
I didn't even occur to me until a couple of weeks ago but I haven't cut since February 16!! I just I have just been either to busy with everything else to take the time to cut and/ or my therapy has been helping. I kind of hope the latter is coming in to play mate than just the lack of time ;)
I was clean for 5 months, but about a week ago I relapsed. I'm such a failure.
@12lyssa12 you are not a failure. Relapse is part of recovery. You just can't let it define you. You know you make it 5 months because you've already done it, so now do that again. Maybe now you know more about what triggers you because you can examine what caused your relapse. You can do this, just keep going!
It's been 5 months. Even though I have stopped it's a struggle everyday not to do it. Sometimes I miss it dearly and other times I am happy I haven't and I have stayed strong but I still miss all the release I got out of it.
@Bonnieheart 5 months is great! I know it can be really hard and you'll start to miss it and want to relapse, but the more you fight it, the less you'll miss it. There will be times that it will feel impossible to fight, but anything is possible, so you CAN beat this! I believe you can get out of this! Stay strong!!
Update: I was 3 weeks clean....but now im 21 mins clean. turns out im not as strong as i thought i was
@charmingSea9121 yes you are. You're stronger than you think you are, and you are capable of stopping. I know it's difficult, but I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you is going to be worth it. Stay strong, honey. You can do it.
I was 5 months until yesterday sadly
4 days
I was 5 months an hour ago now I'm only 20 mins clean. I just missed it so much and I relapsed and I am ashamed of it, I thought I could hold back the temptation but apparently I can't. I screwed up.
@Bonnieheart Yes, please stay strong, I am so proud of you, and though I haven't met you I love you. Stay strong love <3
It's been almost a week but I think I might do it again...
@determinedMango6415 just stay strong, ok sweetie? Do you have any alternatives out distractions from it that you could do?
