It's great you're 4 months free from SI and 2 years of drug abuse! That is already a huge accomplishment :) Nobody is perfect... we all make mistakes; but the good thing is that we can learn from those mistakes and become stronger.

I'm sorry things are tough with your friends :/ It does sound good that you're doing so well in school, and I'm glad some of your friends support you in that. I'm glad to hear you're doing this for yourself too :)

Do you do anything to distract yourself when you feel the urge to cut or OD? Maybe you could find something you enjoy to take your mind off of what's going on. Some things that help me are listening to music, writing poetry, or getting out of the house. I've heard that holding an ice cube to your skin works pretty well too. It creates some pain, but doesn't do any harm.

I hope you're doing alright! Always feel free to send a PM if you need to talk

*hugs and love*
