Has anyone ever made you feel like this?

I sound like a fool: http://justagirlxx0.blogspot.com/2011/08/because-of-you.html

Has anyone ever helped you like this? This is the first time I feel confident that I can quit.

Oh definitely. I don't know if I've felt that way about someone I'm not that close to, but I've definitely felt that way about people in my life. I've self-harmed maybe once or twice since I got with my girlfriend three months ago, though I still self-harmed through my relationship with my ex-husband. He didn't cause me to self-harm, but I think my girlfriend makes me feel happier, decreasing my urges. Even when we weren't dating, she had that effect on me. And even before I figured out that I liked her. I don't think it's strange at all. I would try to befriend them though if I were you. :) At the least talk to them sometime.

That describes how I feel about this guy I've known for 4 years. We don't talk a lot, but he has no idea how much he has helped me in the past.

Nope I don't believe in it

Yes. I feel exactly like that about my most recent boyfriend. He made me so happy that he completely got my mind off of hurting myself. Even when we were just friends, he was a good distraction.

We broke up two days ago, so things are a bit difficult at the moment, but it'll all be okay. :3 I have hope.

personally, I have never felt that and there are people in my life I love more than life itself. But for me it's a very personal private struggle and it's not defined or made better [so to speak] by other people. I guess, I am deterred by the fact my loved ones will be upset.

EDIT: Not that other people might not feel that way and find solice in 'falling in love', having strong feelings for someone, wanting someone to believe in etc, whatever helps you has got to be a positive. But I'd be careful not to entrust someone with so much of your wellbeing; if you think this person is your reason for stopping, then if they were ever to hurt you- you only need imagine how badly that would play out.
then again I have low expectations of people in general.

Still, i truly believe it is healthier to be happy in yourself. Alone. If you can stop SH-ing purely for yourself, there's a better gurantee you'll keep it up. Because you are a constant, you will always be you. But people come and go.

Stay strong all :)
