How long are you "clean"? If you aren't what is keeping you back?
Hello everyone.
This forum post is for all those people self harming.
- How long are you "clean"? How much time did it pass till the last time you self harmed?
- If you are still self harming: what is keeping you back?
All of you answer those 2 questions sincerely! Don't be afraid! Share your story!
And let's all of us congratulate those people for fighting and trying their own battles!
Well done!

I've been clean from sh for 3 days I think.
And something that is keeping me from stopping is that it's really the only thing that helps me to cope with how I feel. There's a few more reasons as well but I think that's the main one.

Heywo! o/
Thank you, it definitely was a lot and still is. But it somehow feels less? Maybe it is less, or maybe I grew up some? Who knows I suppose
Thank you so much! There are still days where it's still so hard, thought pass through my head, and I contemplate, but so far I haven't
Oof, yes it sucks to deal with, especially cuz it makes your wonder if you even have emotions at all, or if you're faking all of them, or how much are you faking or exaggerating. . . I hope you have a good way to deal with it and that it gets to a better place in your life 🩵
Mmm thank you, strength was something I always wanted as a child, now I have a small amount, and realize the weight that you have to hold when your strong, it's very heavy, and sometimes you fall down under the weight, but the path to greater strength is training and getting back up is one of the ways to train I suppose?
Thank you, it was both weirdly difficult and easy to share, it definitely feels a bit better knowing that kind and loving others (like you!) can see that part of me know tho,
🙃 You're so wonderful for helping so many people 🩵
Of course of course, I try and you as well, stay safe and be blessed! ✨🩵
@7Bear7

@cheerfulKiwi1776
The feeling of unworthiness is keeping me back. Still proud for people who are clean.
@iulika5977
Hey there! Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate it. You don't need to feel unworthy of something but I know sometimes we just cannot control it and let negative self talk take over the positive one. I will definitely recommend the gratitude app. Also, if you are a member I am open for a 1-1 chat if you ever want any help.
I believe in you and I m proud of you. ✨️
Take care and be safe🫶
@cheerfulKiwi1776, I am an adult, still thank you.
@iulika5977
Oh I m sorry! Still you can reach out to other adult listeners please! 🫶
Been clean 4 years.
@Sadshaznay
Oh my god! I m so glad you are clean for 4 yearssssssss! Well doneeeeeeeee
@cheerfulKiwi1776 i have been clean for less than 24 hours. i don't think i can say ive "stopped" i just havent had an oppotunity to do it recently. The control aspect is whats holding me back. It feels like it mine and only mine. i know its unhealthy. i just have some recent truama and family issues that cause me to feel like i don't have much control.
this is my first post btw, you guys all seem so sweet!
@pinkiepie1724
I m really glad you opened up and talked about it. I would be more than happy to have a chat with you so if you are a teen please feel free to text me and we can talk there! Also, please take care, became safe and you are amazinggg
i remember the first time I started I was just 10 years old. Which is crazy now to think I’m 23 now and thinking of a literal child even getting to that point makes me so sad for myself. But unfortunately it’s something I cant seem to get out. My thoughts just overwhelm me and i get scared of what i’ll do so I just resort to self harm. I always thought cutting was the only form but its developed to hitting myself which i do without even realizing. But as cutting the last time was 2 weeks ago
@ar1ee
Hey I see its tough and I m extremely proud of you for opening up. Please please please contact someone to help you. You need help. I believe in you🩵✨️
@cheerfulKiwi1776
I have been clean for 2 weeks. I think what holds me back from not thinking about it at all is social pressure to be more cut.
@helpfulComputer5071
