Today is my 30th day without hurting myself: i am about to turn 19 and i have been dealing with this for 7 years. I have started to heal, step by step. I am finding love for the small things: sunshine, fresh hair, the smell of grass; i am slowly finding the will to live and i am building the basis for self love and self care. I know im not where i want to be yet, i know my scars will be visible for years to come, but i keep telling myself the sooner i start the sooner it will all be over.
Love yourselves❤

That’s wonderful news @Coraline28, thank you for sharing it with us.
I’m really happy for you and hope you can continue in your path.
Just a little note on scars that might help - I’m covered in them, all over my torso, my face, wrist, legs; all from (drunk) accidents and resulting surgeries I’ve had, rather than intentional self harm. I’ve pretty much stopped seeing them now, and I just double checked with my wife and she says she never even notices them anymore.
