Hi Cher,

Yes, a lot of us here are adults, whether we like it or not. I've been 29 for something like 7 years now (I lose track ... maybe intentionally). I was about six when I started, and it's been on and off too. Haven't done it for the past 2 months and 2 days now, and this time I'll make it for six months. I almost had six months last time. The next six-month mark coming up is going to be triggery though because I'm supposed to have a birthday around then, and also the one-year mark from being assaulted. Where do we get this compulsion to remember being hurt by getting hurt? Bullies were part of the problem when I started, um, 30? years ago.

Anyway, yeah, we have adults here.
