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

I don't think so, since cutting isn't the only self-harm method and the urge can come back. I only cut for a few weeks and then stopped, but I still got urges over two years later and I still struggle with other self-harm methods. I think it's less about the method or amount of time and the fact that you have that habit/attitude.

I believe that's the first step. If one can stop self harm for a while, it is likely that he or she has the potential to overcome it once and for all. It takes effort to take such a step and effort is what a person needs when dealing with psychological problems.

No, it's common to go through bouts of self harm then go clean for a bit. It still means that you have a problem and should seek help.

This is definitely an interesting question. A similar question can be used with drug addicts as an example. If I use heroin for only a few months and stopping does that make me any less of a heroin addict? As a former cutter my answer is no. Cutting is an addiction like alcohol and cigarettes are addictions. It is a way to cope when we feel the pain inside is too much to handle and we need to inflict pain on the outside to balance it and numb it. Its an addiction because It works and it damages your ability to cope healthfully and expressively over time. Seek help and support. This can be stopped and there are better ways of managing that wont feel so isolating.

No, self harm is self harm no matter how you dress it, however breaking free of that cycle of self harm is extremely difficult and if you've been able to accomplish that you should be proud. It takes great strength to overcome that cycle of self harm and even more to continue overcoming it, and that is a victory.

I think it doesn't. Because cutting yourself is not making you a worst person, of someone weaker, weird or anything like that. You can't be more self-harmer or less self-harmer. Yes, you've cut yourself a couple of times but the important thing is that you were able to stop. That's the only thing that counts.

Everyone who cuts are concided as self-harmer, but the fact you was able to stop means you are really strong and you have control on your life! Personally, I don't think that it makes you any less of self-harmer but since you stopped and are self harm free, you are formal, not active, self harmer.

Of course not. The rules are simple; if you harm yourself, then you are a self-harmer. It doesn't matter how often you do it or how many cuts you make. If you ever self harm, then you are a self-harmer.

There is no scale of self-harm degree that I am aware of, but if anything, it makes you extremely strong for being able to stop

No, being a self-harmer is way of coping with emotions so if you cut for only a few month and then stop it is no worse or better than some than does it regularly, however it is still a form of coping and can return at anytime and you can talk to your healthcare provider or find other resources on ways to better manage your emotions.
