Well, so far I haven't cut myself for about 19 days now. I know it doesn't seem like a very long time, but it's the longest I've gone without cutting for a very long time. I'm hoping that I can keep it up and not fuck it up. I'm desperate to stop cutting, because I know how much it hurts those that care about me when I cut. Also, I want to stop because I'm worried that someday, I'll cut too deep and seriously injure myself. Wish me luck on keeping this up.

Good luck. It's a very, very hard thing to do. I know that it's the hardest thing that I've ever had to stop. 19 days may not seem like a long time, but that's a huge step, and most likely the hardest one. You just need to keep it up, figure out what triggers you and avoid it, and find other things to do, to get your mind off of it whenever you feel the urge to self-harm. If you need to talk, feel free to message me. :)

EDIT: Have you heard of The Butterfly Project?  It has been a useful tool in helping a lot of people quit.

I don't really know much about To Write Love On Her Arms...but, in my original post, if you'll click on the blue part that says The Butterfly Project, it will take you to a site that tells all about it.:)

I'm sure you can stick it out


-- Posted by muphnplutonic at 2:06 am on June 29, 2008

Well done.
That's truly inspirational.
Keep it up and make us proud!

As soon as you feel like doing it, come on here.
And we'll give you other things to do :)

Again, thanks everyone.

And I checked out the link, ehmusic. Sounds pretty cool! I think that I might try it.

good luck hun, i admire your strenghth <3

Obviously I wish you luck, but I would also like to offer you a little bit of insight on what you are doing to your mental stability.  Yeahyeahyeahyeah, you mention what you are doing to those around you, but that should be the last of your worries.  Cutting yourself not only hurts you physically, but it KILLS you emotionally.  How many times have you actually cut yourself and been like, 'MAN, THAT WAS GREAT!!!'... No, all it does is promote yourself to feel bad for yourself.

Just don't do it.  Eat ice cream instead!
