4 years no cuts or burns
 
So in 2 days it will have been 4 years since I last intentionally cut or burnt myself. I still get the urges to do it quite regularly, and i still have depression and such. i still do other, much milder forms of si occasionally.

What really surprises me is that many of my scars still have color to them after 4 years. I haven't been very good about putting cream or lotion on them regularly, but i thought by now they would be completely faded after 4 years.

So I was involved in cutting myself for 4 years, and now i am free from it for 4 years. I think that is a step in the right direction.

well done! i am so happy for you :) i find it impossible to stop! but anyway, maybe if you want to make the scars fade a little put some bio oil on them, and that should help.
but scars (especially burns) tend to stay there forever.
good luck with everything :)
