Cutting Milestones

[Meh Guy]

I thought I could lighten this forum just a little bit. I'm making this post for any milestones or stories anyone feels comfortable with sharing. There's no rules just anything you are proud of you an share. Something as little as only cutting 5 times instead of 10. Improvement is good.

Ill go first; it's been 1 year today since my last cut, 5 years since my last streak of cutting depression.

One of my best friends usually cuts whenever she is feeling like she did something wrong, feels like she is a failure, and feels as if she is useless in life. Whenever those situations come up, she feels terrible, cuts, and I am always there trying to stop her. I can proudly say and speak for her as well that for the past 3 times it's happened, she hasn't cut herself :)

Nice :) small victories first, they usually lead to bigger and brighter things ;)

That's right! I don't expect her to completely stop, but if she can go for longer intervals that would be great.

It's been nearly three-four years since i last cut, one since i burned myself and almost four years since i reasonably recovered from depression.

Good job! I am glad you got better :)

I haven't tried to hurt myself in any way for a month (though that'll probably end tonight)

Yeah, I ended up doing it, so now I'm unfortunately back to day 1. :/

Aww :( Well try to beat your new record now.

[RakshaMalayka]

It's currently been 73 days since I last hurt myself

[romes3]

It's been 2 weeks since I've last cut, and I'm pretty proud of it. Normally I cut at least twice a day.

[lumiadots]

it's been three months since i've last burned myself, and eight months since i've last cut. i'm a lot better. seasonal depression is getting me down quite a bit...but i've stayed strong and i'm very proud of myself for it. (:

[queenofcontrariety]

I managed not to relapse last night, well kinda. I mean I didn't cut, I'm pyrophobic so I would never burn myself. I mean technically it may still be considered self harm but I have no marks so I'm calling it a win.

[Babs]

Nearly a month.

And you should be, we're all proud too :)

In 54 days it will mark one year. Guess I'll be getting that tattoo after all.

I also want to mention that my last milestone before this had been something like 74 days or something. This time I've passed 300. I don't know how I did it but I'm really glad I did.

Congrats! Hope you make it to a year :)

[romes3]

I've stopped myself from relapsing 2 weeks in a row now, I'm happy!

[Luminous]

Today is one month since I last cut! This is the longest I've gone.

[maniamsmart]

Congrats! :) Now double that value :D

Congrats. It's hard and it stays hard but the sense of accomplishment is worth it.

A month and a half left until I hit a year.

I hope you make it and post in here when you do :)

[Armyboydevon99]

right now im 13 days clean and the longest i have gone was 1 month

[silentscream]

Wow, it's been almost two hours since I cut. I usually cut about every 40 minutes or so. It's been 120 whole fucking minutes- wow such a fucking accomplishment. Just goes to show how much of a failure I am.

You should make a thread about it, maybe some of us can help you :(

[silentscream]

[Leprous]

Been about a month since my last relapse, I actually feel proud for once.

[maniamsmart]

There's always hope for those that really want it.

There's hope for everyone darling

[silentscream]

There's always hope for those that really want it.I've tried but no-one understands and when I talk to people my grave just gets deeper in a sense.

Well, some people do understand, people who've been there.

Well if you ever do have the confidence to, we are here to help, and I am far more understanding than most (not to be cocky).

I'm just lost and scared... I can't take it much longer.

Don't be, we're all here to help you, so if ever need someone, feel free to let me or anyone else here know. Or you can start a thread about it.

Yup :) Everyone's scared in the beginning.

Where is the right place for a thread like that? Under the self harm/cutting?

[maniamsmart]

That's correct.

[Leprous]

Well, mental crisis works aswell. Don't be afraid to ask for help there.

[paranoidforlife]

I have not cut or hurt myself at all in over a year, but I still want to.
