LizBeth replies: the not self harming is a weird one; I was having a really really bad day a week or so back, and I suddenly realised that surprisingly enough I had no desire to self harm. And that I hadn't for months! I can't say I'll never do it again mind you, that would be tempting fate

LizBeth replies:Well, this is my second go. The first group just didn't work out at all and I really disliked it. This one is good though.

Many many thanks. I wish you the very best of luck. I can't tell you how much your response has helped me.
UM
