It's been 8 weeks now, so I guess Im doing well, for me anyway. But what I have been wondering is when I can say I am 'recovering' from it rather than saying straight that I self-injure??

I know its only been two months, though its the longest Ive gone without it for a while, I feel its too early to say that Im recovering from it, more like Im 'trying to recover'. Yeah, i think Im hovering around that area somewhere.

So when can you think of yourself as recovering from it? what does it actually mean?

I think Im scared to call myself that because its too early for it, Im not entirely safe... alsost like Im expecting a relapse anytime soon?

Any thoughts?
