Does cutting for only a few months and stopping make me any less of a self-harmer?

No, self-harm is simply that, harming yourself. A person who's harmed themselves once, is just as entitled to assistance as a person who's harmed themselves for years.

Self harm is difficult, even if you were doing it for years but have now stopped are you still a self-harmer? No matter how little or how much you do it, it is still something that should be taken seriously and that you should talk to a professional about.

No, self-harm is self-harm, no matter how you do it, no matter how long you do it. It's still destructive. Also, if you "just cut for a few months" it can turn into a whole lot of months. You need professional help, either way. Did that make sense?

I use to cut for almost two years, and i stopped for about one month. Self-harm is a serious addiction, i know how hard it can be to escape that cycle. But it depends on how you are feeling and if you want to continue cutting.

Cutting ourselves/ trying to self harm won't do any good. You are just hurting yourself. You should love yourself, you'll feel better

cutting for any amount of time can be addicting and if you continuously do it will always be an option for you, but if you find other ways to cope that are healthier for you and less addicting, you could stop sooner.

No,self-harm isn’t about for how long you do it.Maybe you do it for a day,but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t count.

Not at all. The fact that you get the urge to harm yourself and engage in self-harm behaviour at all would technically make you a "self-harmer". You don't need to label yourself as that though because that doesn't make you who you are.

Self harm is self harm. No matter how long, or how many times it is practiced, it doesn’t make it any worse or any better.
