people can stop self harming if they want to stop
and depending on how bad their addiction is depends on how hard it will be to stop
i nearly went a year without self harming and then something happened which triggered me and i went back to it.
take care

oi, i know exactly how that feels it has become an addiction now and that is why even when things are good you still do it i have been there and you CAN get through it!
i am not competely recovered from it every few months or so i do a few small ones but i have come so far! u can do it and it is not true when you say that you shouldnt be here or that u let everyone down and disapoint people i thought that all aswell it is our minds telling us that due to our depression.
but sweetie you will get there. i am speaking from experiance :P
whenever you need me or just want to talk please drop me a message :P
xoxoxo take care!

I've spoken to quite a few people here that seem to have stopped, how they did I have no clue, most of those tricks dont work for me. However I wonder if the desire and thinking bout it ever ends, cause its just as bad for me.

I havent self injured for 8 years. MOre than this, My life is full today of peace and joy and love. There is a road that leads to peace. There is hope for better things. It isnt easy. I dont really think we can self harming just because we want to. I couldnt. I tried and failed. I had to seek help outside myself. I got that help and I am here to help you the same way. All of you. The path I walk is narrow. It is worth the effort. My life is amazing today. Yours can be too.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
