6 year anniversary

[still hurting]

exactly 6 years ago i cut myself for the first time, since then its been 5 years of fighting now i've finally made 1 year free. i started after being stuck in my house alone with my parents in a blizzard for days, i was going crazy and things were so bad i just needed to do something. every year at this time i think about how long it's been and how i'm still screwing up my life, this year i finally feel free. over the years my cutting changed, i used different tools, i made different rules, even the needs and emotions behind it changed. last week i was stuck at home in the same house with my parents during a blizzard and i didn't cut myself. i hate that i did this for so long and that it's still so much a part of me, but i am a stronger person now than i ever could have been before, i am proud of who i am and of the choices i make.

I am really happy to hear of your achievement! Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment. :]

I'm also very glad that you're proud of yourself and the choices you make. It's an amazing thing to be able to get from feeling extremely low and hurting yourself to being proud of yourself.

Congrats again!
*gives you a hug and piece of cake*
