I can't believe I'm doing this! (Happy post!!!)
 

Ever since I started cutting in 7th grade and moved on to more varied forms in the past 2 years (I'm a high school senior), I was always adamant in my refusal to stop hurting myself. And now it's like I really WANT to stop and nothing can stop me from stopping. Oh my God just that alone feels wonderful. I might be free someday. Maybe...one day...I could *not* hurt myself. That's just an amazing thought.



No idea if I should post stuff like that or if this is the right forum, but I just really wanted to get that out.

Wanting to stop is the first important step to take if you are wanting to give up self-harm so well done on taking that step. You may also find it useful to read this article on stopping self-harm. Take care and all the best

Thank you =)

woo hoo! That's great! I'm sooo glad you're making that decision :) It'll be hard, but I know you can do it!

*hugs and love*

This is AMAZING news!! I am so thrilled for you.

Any idea what prompted the change? I'd love to know lol

Just feeling so out of control with my SH. That's why I came on here in the first place. I'd been cutting for years (around 5 years), but recently it's felt way too out of control. Like, I'm almost always hurting myself by punching or biting or scratching myself when I'm alone and I'm covered in bruises and cuts and stuff and it's just like... I'm scared. I don't want my life to be controlled by this

I'm glad you're making the decision :) thats great
