[SoDark]

I have one year and four months free of self injury. I am working as hard as I possibly can to improve my quality of life. I am a full time student studying to get my bachelors degree in social work. I work part time on an adolescent psychiatric ward. My newest venture is to improve my social skills and "get a life." I recently attended my work holiday party and even went out for drinks one night with my co-workers. This is possible for all of you. It just takes time.
