Hey Jacquie *squishes*

Try and keep away from anything triggering, or anything that could lead to self harm [such as the tools you might use]. 5 months is incredible and if I were you I would be very proud of myself!

What do you think has helped you make it through so long without cutting? Can you suggest some things that you think have helped?

Can you talk to your boyfriend about how you're feeling, especially when he doesn't call?

Take care of yourself - remember that you are important.

Wow well done for going 5 months. I know it's hard when you get urges but try distract yourself or think of reasons why it won't help in the long run.
