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

No. If you've harmed yourself before you are either a current or recovered self harmer. However, no one but you can put any kind of labels on you.

No it does not. It is very selfish to do it at all I hope this gets out to the community tell everyone spread the news

It doesnt depend on when you cut yourself, but more on if you cut yourself. The only difference you can take is by looking at the depth of the wounds and in what of situation you are most likely to self-harm.

In my honest. Self harm is self harm. It's a self expression of a certain emotion. But you are only a self harmer for as long as you harm yourself.

It doesn't, any form of self harm counts and any period of time does too. It still counts if you didn't do it for long.

In my opinion there is no definitive definition for self harming, therefore there are no guidelines or certain aspects that will make a person "qualified" to say that they self-harm(ed). Now that I have said that, any scar or mark that a person has that is the product of self harming carries a story, feelings, emotions, tears, etc. Therefore there are no guidelines that you have to reach to be a self harmer so no, cutting for a while then stopping does not make you less of a self harmer or less of a survivor.

It makes you a self-harmer, but one who stopped. So like a former self-harmer which is something you can be proud of for stopping. As much as it may embarrass you or make you feel bad that it was in your past, the fact that it's your past not present is an accomplishment you can love yourself for.

yes, because once you've cleared that battle, you're free. no more pain. no, because you could always go back to it. it's not a bad thing, it's a way people take the pain away.

no but the fact that you stopped within a few months is something to be extremely proud of most people dont get to say that

No, It does not make you less of a self harmer, I used to try and make myself believe the same thing, you are very brave for stopping but I also want to clarify that it is also perfectly okay if you relapse because that is sometimes part of the recovery process. You are strong and you can fight this
