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?

15 years ago I stopped cutting, but I still hurt myself in other ways (taking pills). 5 years ago is when I truly stopped with self harm.

It's been a month today, it's the first time in my life I've actually counted. Normally I go about my life not thinking about it, people ask and I give them a vague answer. Usually a couple weeks, or months depending on how well I know them. I did this because part of my problem is failure. I don't like admitting defeat or that I've done wrong, nobody does. I don't like to know I'm not strong enough. That relapse is immiment and one day, I have to explain to my children the white lines that mark my body.

Then someone came along and has shown me I can do this, I can change because change happens. Good or bad. Nobody in the past ten years I've been self-harming has done this for me. Not like this. Not with compassion and grace, not with sensitivity towards something that has been a constant hardship in my life. Not with love. Not with hope. And not with peace.

I'm telling you all, because this will be you one day. It took ten years for me, but it happened. Stay strong, and fight the good fight.

@alexaners7734 yes I know stress can make you feel bad about yourself and it creates urge to self harm but you are strong enough to deal with this. You are fighter, you took more than 1 years self harm free and you can take even more!
