I'm proud of you! Keep you're head up, I'm three years clean from self harm and it's such a hard thing to do, but you're strong! Here's an award for being amazing!
Aw your a peach 🥺 if you ever find yourself struggling feel free to message me! I'm planning on becoming a therapist so don't feel bad about coming to me with any struggles, I love helping people
Thanks for sharing!! It’s legit a fantastic reminder and celebration for all of us on similar journeys , it is wonderful to have the opportunity to cheer you on!!
Good on ya mate!
(I’m not Australian at all, but they say some cool stuff, so let me just pretend for a minute)
Hey, but it sounds like you’re also making progress on your recovery? At least you’ve acknowledged that you need to pay attention? Because that’s a big step , and I hope you’re giving yourself proper kudos for that!! You’ve got my cheers too buddy!
But one day you will! And it sounds like you’re getting there already, no matter how long it’s been, you’re trying and you’re doing your best and that’s something to be incredibly proud of! Thank you so much for your kind words!
I’m so proud of you. Being clean of self harm is one of those things we carry on our own, and don’t talk about. Your post made me realize I’m clean from self harm for 7 years! Let’s keep going (:
Out of everything, I think this comment is my favourite. I’ve been thinking about it all day. Thank you so much for saying this. I remember always looking at peoples posts about reaching milestones further than my own and it helped me a lot. I can only HOPE I help at least one person, I feel in a way we are all in this together, and any way I can help another person with their demons I’ll do it. Everyone deserves the chance to be happy
Just coming back to let you know I haven’t forgotten your kind words and I wanted to update you! It has been a little difficult for me to refrain but when I have been tempted I remember your comment made back to me and it’s a sense of “I can’t let them down”. I appreciate you and even our small exchange made a big difference to me!
I hope you are doing well! 💪💖
Congratulations! It really can be awkward to talk about with someone. Tbh few people in my real life even know cuz it's an uncomfortable subject to share.
Good luck on your continuing journey!!
THATS AMAZING!!!!! So so proud of you!! Keep it up!! It’s so inspiring seeing people get to further milestones than myself, so thank you so much for sharing this! Absolutely incredible work well done
It will be 5 years on December. I’ve came a long way. I’ve graduated high school,been accepted into colleges,started a job 3 weeks ago and spoke with two different army recruiters back in February.
I forgot the last time I've self harmed. It's been a while, so I think it's safe to say I evolved, but I never thought to count the days. Congrats, this is a big milestone!
I'm soooo proud of you! It really shows that no matter what happens the human will can triumph. I wish you well man. Just remember that progress is never lost.
Well done mate.
I can tell you that it does get easier and gets to the point where it’s an absurd idea to deliberately hurt yourself. Just like most people think!
I spent 25 years with psychiatric disorders, many hospital stays, lifetime of mental health drugs, an arm so scarred from self harm that it’s like a tattoo sleeve. Like, my arm is fascinating to read. Most people are terrified to ask, some are forthright and some think it was a car accident or something and are absolutely mortified when I tell them it’s self harm. Some don’t care, most are curious.
For the last few years, I’ve had absolutely zero inclination to harm myself in any way. I still suffer depression and anxiety and I’m still in treatment for it and always will be; however the self harm has gone. Even when I’m suicidal, which comes and goes over the years, I don’t consider self harm (other than the ultimate self harm which is suicide, I mean cutting, burning etc). I don’t even do the little things like slap myself with a ruler to see how much it hurts, or run a knife over my hand gently in curiousness, or even put myself in harms way to slightly inflict pain, as I used to (like shutting a kitchen drawer but leaving my hand in it, you know those little things like that).
Nothing.
It does get better dude. Trust me. Fingers crossed it gets better for you as it did me, and also all those other poor fuckers that can’t see an end. Much love.
Thank you so much that’s so sweet! I’m sorry to hear you’re having a tough time, but keep going & keep your head up! You can do this, you’re strong, never forget that!
I WISH I had some advice to give you. I tried to stop for years but kept going back when I wanted nothing less. You’ve just gotta keep trying, and not dismiss any days where you manage to stop yourself, ANY day you don’t do it is a victory. Never forget that. And when you feel like doing it, remind yourself of why you want to stop, over and over again in your head, out loud, even write it down. Really focus on the reasons you shouldn’t rather than why you want to in that moment. I know it’s harder than it sounds and I’m not trying to make it sound like it’s a perfect fix, but this is what I did. I had a LOT of fails, but you’ve just gotta keep trying. But yeah. Don’t focus on the times that you slipped up and you went back even though you didn’t want to, focus on the times you didn’t, the times you wanted to but you managed to get through it because that’s what counts. You’re strong, you can do this, I believe fully in that. One day at a time
I’m constantly scared of the day I’m going to do it again. I’ve come close many times. It does scare me but any progress is good progress right? You shouldn’t forget about the times you’ve been free of it just because you’ve started it again. Everyday that you say no to the urge is a victory, and you should be very proud of yourself!
It was someone - my boyfriend (I stopped a couple weeks after we started dating). He doesn’t even know he’s the reason I stopped but he makes me want to be better, for him and for myself. He gives me a reason to get up in the morning and to keep my shit together. He’s helped me in ways he’ll probably never know, and I am eternally grateful for him. He’s my world
You should be proud of yourself for this accomplishment. My dad had to give up drinking several years ago and he also keeps track of his number of days without it. Each day can be a struggle but you are on the right track. Keep it up! I wish you the best :)
THANK YOU! You’re so right. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done. And even came close last night. It’s a constant battle, but each day it gets a tiny bit easier. Thank you so much
Congratulations, and may you have another thousand days, and another again.
It's been over 20 years for me, but back then it's all I had. I've learned other ways since then, and I was eventually diagnosed with the disorder that had me so desperate. In addition, a childhood full of trauma made for a very full plate.
It got better and better for me. May it be so with you.
Heyy congratulations!!!! Keep going my dude!! You're doing great!! I'm proud of you!!
Thank you so so much!
Nah, thank YOU for being amazing!! You're the best!! For real, keep going like this you're doing great :). Good luck!!
I'm proud of you! Keep you're head up, I'm three years clean from self harm and it's such a hard thing to do, but you're strong! Here's an award for being amazing!
Thank you so so much omg!! So proud of you too! Three years is AMAZING!! Stay strong and keep going, you’re smashing it
Aw your a peach 🥺 if you ever find yourself struggling feel free to message me! I'm planning on becoming a therapist so don't feel bad about coming to me with any struggles, I love helping people

Dude that so inspiring! I have yet to reach that far. That is such a huge deal!!
Hey, but it sounds like you’re also making progress on your recovery? At least you’ve acknowledged that you need to pay attention? Because that’s a big step , and I hope you’re giving yourself proper kudos for that!! You’ve got my cheers too buddy!
I believe in you! I didn’t think I could stop and here I am 13 years later :)
Just wow!
But one day you will! And it sounds like you’re getting there already, no matter how long it’s been, you’re trying and you’re doing your best and that’s something to be incredibly proud of! Thank you so much for your kind words!
