6 months harm free

Hello I am new here...I struggle with self harm.....I have not cut or burnt in 6 months now however it is a constant battle and right now life is tough as there are many triggering dates......this place with all the trackers seems like it is going to be cool.....I will keep fighting the good fight............

awesome, i hope you keep it up.  I always tell myself I wont do it again, but when something way to emotionally diffucult comes up, its like im a completely different person and I just lose my normal mental state and I cut.  I always feel embarassed afterwards.  I try so hard to stop, but its like an addiction.  
Good luck with this!..you aren't alone

My apoligies I have not been on here in quite some time.  yes I know what you mean in requards to addiction.  I am only successful as I have 4 friends that I can call at anytime and they help me through...I have even just sat silent on the phone woth them for hours....sometimes I just go to a friends (she is 30 years older then me) and she just holds me for hours like a Mum.....so it has helped....I am at almost 10 months and I still have days where I am soooo close to losing it all.  It is a moment by moment battle.  Find some people you can trully trust and let them help you through this journey...you are still young and the sooner you get a handle on this the better.  i am 39 and if I can do this with all my years of harming then so can you....surrond yourself with support.
