Those who haven't been through it sometimes have a very hard time understanding how hard it is. 5 weeks is an amzing acomplishment. Be proud of it and yourself. In the long run, what matters is what you think not what they think. I'm sorry they weren't supportive but stay strong and be really really proud of what's you've done. I'm proud of you and thrilled for you. Great job!

Great job! 5 Weeks is great. Try not to get too caught up in "how long its been". Usually when I get caught up in how long its been, my disease of addiction and cutting says that I have waited long enough, or that I deserve it etc etc. Try to take it one day, 24 hours, at a time. The first few months that I stopped cutting were full of urges, my mind learning new healthy ways to handle stress, pain, depression.

I had a book, any time I wanted to cut I would just start writing in it until my hand felt like it would come off. It was mostly anger and cussing, but that mood would fade and it kept me from cutting.
