About two years ago today... I decided that I needed to stop self-injuring. Not because it wasn't working for me as a coping mechanism, but because I felt that it was going to get out of hand and I wanted control of the situation. (Which is kinda funny, since SI was always a "control" thing for me).
But after I quit, I arbitrarily picked the best date for me to have to remember to celebrate these anniversaries. So... I picked my mothers birthday. (Happy birthday Mom... even if you're not the best parent I know you ultimately love me). So... I guess, I'm wishing myself a Happy Anniversary today. Quitting/recovering is possible. It just takes a lot of screwing up beforehand. Never give up.

I'm happy for you! You deserve high fives all around. It takes guts to look a problem in the eye and actually do something to change it. You have.

Thank you all. For everyone struggling - I know that the first year was the hardest, by far... then it's only been bad when my depression has been bad - so it's easier to control. Try not to have to go the route alone, because it's hard. Very very hard to do it by yourself (take that from me as a "been there, done that"!) As for me being an inspiration - Jacq - you're a wonderful friend for being near me and helping always. I offer you the same support if you want it. NWTR, I miss posting often too!  It's a bit weird not posting as much... but I always like hearing from you. Thanks everyone.

(((((((((((me05))))))))))))) I can honestly say I understand. Getting help is a hard step to have to do - but you can do it. Just find someone you can talk to first, someone who is the most likely to say at least "I'm sorry you feel that way", even if they can't really help otherwise.
