6 weeks 1 day, I think


I know you are looking for a sea that lies beyond your reach
But im hoping my heart can stop you before you reach the beach
I know you have places to go
I know that you want the sea
But im hoping my heart will grow and that you'll
come back to me.....

I can't remember so I'm going to guess and say probably about a week now.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers

I went back on my calender and it's been about 37 days since any form of self harm. No small cuts, no burning, nothing.

I'm not sure if I'll keep it up but I can give it a try.

I've beat a number of urges as well.

You guys are doing really well. Giving up on self harm is possible. Every day counts towards recovery and I hope y'all are proud of yourself. I am here if you need somebody to talk to.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately, just so I can feel something; but I know it isn't worth it. I can do this.

Re: Self harm free! - May 11th 2016, 11:08 PM

Hi, I came to post back on here and I can say it has been 4 years and 2 months since I last cut, but sadly, it has came back to less than a day..



"I'm not a piece of cake for you to just discard
While you walk away with the frosting of my heart
So I'm taking back what's mine, you'll miss
The slice of heaven that I gave to you last night
." - "Cake" by Melanie Martinez

Nine months, three weeks, and a day.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
