    Wow, that's awesome! Having been a self-harmer myself, I know how liberating it is to know that one is mentally strong enough to overcome the urge to self-harm. Well done :eusa_clap (*hug*)

    Congratulations! Whenever someone feels bad enough to self harm themselves, it's a very dark time, filled with many struggles. I have had countless friends self harm or hate, cut, attempt suicide, and had one succeed (RIP Tanner, I still miss you!). I also used to hurt myself when I was younger, but I got over it before I did any permanent scarring or damage. Again, it is a very dark place to be, and I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better, because I don't even like seeing strangers feel that way. Congrats to you, and here's to even more months without cutting! :grin:

    Good work!

    Unfortunately, I still punch and bite myself. I've managed to stop myself from doing it over minor mistakes to punish myself, but when I'm having a full-blown meltdown I still self-injure.:icon_sad:

    That is awesome! As someone that used to self harm, I can say that this is a great accomplishment! It shows just how much strength you have. Never forget that.
