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 haven't cut in about a month but with family, school, and work pressures increasing I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

I am 1 week and 4 days free. This is the longest I've gone without it.

I have been over a year clean. Looking back on it yes, there are ways I could've coped better. Yes, my therapist and mom were right, I do regret it. Yes, I used to think my scars were beautiful, and now I find myself blatantly ashamed of them. But these scars show the darkest time of my life, I have a daily reminder I am stronger than I was a year ago. I have a reminder that things will get better, so in some sense, I guess they're not too bad.

It's been a year and a month my last time self harming was an attempt at suicide that really kinda woke me up... I've been clean ever since.

7 months. Not easy, but clean. Being clean has improved my life because I can focus my energy elsewhere.

It's okay @charmingSea9121.

We all have setbacks, no matter what we're dealing with. The key is to put it behind you and to start afresh. You're made a new start and I know you can do this :)
