I was diagnosed with depression when I was nine years old and began to hurt myself around the same time, probably earlier. i officially began cutting in fifth grade. i was only ten, i was just a baby. since then ive never managed to be sober for more than a few weeks, maybe a month or two at best. now im coming up on six months without. i feel like for the first time in my life I’m going to be able to call myself a *former* self harmer and not a self harmer.
because of my mental health i dont really have friends and don’t talk to my family. it feels good to be able to share this with someone so im sorry if its a little dumb, im just very proud of myself. THank you
Your post made me smile I am SO proud of ur accomplishment. Having almost 6 months free from SH is a BIG deal!!
This milestone is certainly not “dumb”. Youve obviously worked very hard to get here. Im glad u feel safe in this space to let us know about ur milestone. Congratulations
