I hope this doesn't sound like boasting and I'm not because I know I've still got a long way to go and people have lasted much longer than me and then caved in but...

2 months free!

I am sooo happy and I feel rather proud of myself. I know I am a guy but to test my ability with a blade I actually shaved my legs lol (I'm gay so maybe that makes it a little less worse). I didn't get tempted at all to cut and I felt really safe using it

Whoo!

I know you're not boasting, but you should brag and boast all you want!

You're doing fantastic...keep going towards the positive direction you're on.

I'm proud for you!!!

I feel so helpless. And with helplessness comes the urge to self harm. And I did, I burnt myself. Two months free ? Not anymore!

Well done on the 2 months free! I read that you burnt yourself please don't beat yourself up anymore than you already have about this. You managed 2 months and thats fantastic! No one can take that time away from you. And you CAN do it again!

Thanks for this!
