I don't know the exact date, but I know it was at least in the beginning of October that I last did it. So it's been at LEAST a month!

A few hours. But that's okay. It was months before this, so this is just a little slip and I'll be back on track in no time !

We all have sorrow

Roughly a week. Depends on what you consider "Self Harm".

Nothing bad enough to leave a scar.
