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

Maybe yes and maybe not. I mean, if you did it beacasue you saw other people doing it, you're not a self-harmer, but if you did it 'cause you "needed" it, you are. (that's what i think)

A minute, an hour, a day, a month -- self-harm is self harm, no matter how much or how little you do it. Truth be told, self-harm puts you into more stress, even though it feels like it's an escape from mental anguish into physical pain.

I don't think so. The fact is, at least once in your life, you were a self harmer. Even once still makes you one. But it's good that you stopped and I'm so proud that you have.

Well, if at any time you did cut repeatedly it does make you a self-harmer yes, but stopping now means you did self-harm but not now

No. No matter what you do it will sadly always be apart of you, but just because you're a self harmer, you shouldn't let that define who you are.

Kind of, because, if you stop, that stops. You just become into someone that used to be a self-harmer, and the only thing that may tell your story in 1 word, are your scars.

No way! Self harm is a serious problem and you need help. It doesn't matter if you've been doing it for a few months or a few years. It's important to validate yourself and stop a bad behaviour before it becomes an addiction.

If you have to ask that question, you have some doubts that you are a self harmer. Please speak with a listener to give you contact details for self-harming support groups.

What significance do you attach to the label "self-harmer"? I would probably think about this in terms of your reasons for self-harming and your reasons for stopping.
