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 hadn't cut myself in a little more than one and a half years -- but the last few months the desire has been really strong...on Friday I tried to but the knife I had was crappy so it barely left a scratch...

I am a cutter. I have been self harm free for over three months now! I went about 7 years before that. I can do it again!

I haven't done any self harm in over a year. When I was younger I never thought I would stop. I'm not going to lie occasionally when I get stress and panic and upset I feel the need to but I always take a step back and breath.

The trigger warning just makes me want to come in here even more. I'm 3 weeks "clean," and although I know I shouldn't be doing it, I've just been looking for things to make me want to do it again..

@Snugz

But the thing is @Snugz you haven't been doing it. What that says to me is that you're still pretty strong. Keep hanging in there

I'm a week clean but the urges are starting to get really strong and I don't think I can stay clean for much longer

I guess I'm about a week clean right now. I haven't really been keeping track of the days. But my cuts are pretty much totally healed up so that's a good sign.
