I Quit

It has now been a year and two months since I have purposfully caused myeself pain. At the moment I am going through one of my epesoids where I crave it but I've been good and kept anything I could hurt myself with out of my room. For some reason recently my cravings have been more frequent but I'm not going to give in.

Is anyone going through a similer situation?

I've almost turned to this a few times. it must be me or something but im deathly scared of needles and doctor visits, you see.

but i definately feel that need you feel. just to make things better, at least for a few minutes, hours.

but you will come down from your high back to reality and things will suck just as much as they did before you did it.

i know that doesn't sound like its going to help, i just want you to know that you are not alone in this feeling

Well done :) I used too self-harm when i was at school, that compulsion still comes back to me randomly and often brutally.

It's hard and during times where i feel the need, i come up with another strategy - often that strategy is in the comfort of friends for me.

Congrats.
You should be proud of yourself _
Not many people can achieve that by themselves. :))

Amazing you should be so proud of your self that is a huge thing to do...and yeah i have been there its hard but after a while you don't even ever want to do it....keep up the great work

Congratulations. Thats something you should be really proud of, its not an easy thing to overcome. Keep up the good work. =)
