Today is my 2 year anniversary of no cutting or burning myself! WOOHOO!!!!!! I did it! 2 years ago today i was admitted to the hopsital for 2 weeks for being suicidal and self harm and having a total nervous breakdown, had lost 80 lbs in 2 months unable to eat or drink was being kept alive by a central line. I got help, a lot of help and am still getting it! Life does get better, yes i have days that are hard but i have not been suicidal since march of 2017 the second time i got outta the psych hospital. If it wasent for this site and my amazing mental health staff i see, therapist and shrink i would not be here today or my mom cheering me on!
