I self harmed for over a year, and I haven't done so for over 2 months now. Sometimes I feel like I cant cope without hurting myself, but I've realised that there are other ways to cope with my emotional pain. Self harm caused me to lose so many of the people that i loved, because they simply couldn't understand my ways of dealing, and they left me. That alone is the one thing that has hurt me the deepest.

My biggest fear is that i will give in to the urges that palgue me daily and I'll cut again - but I try not to think about it too much. Life without self harm will be an enormous challenge, but it's one that I am more than willing to take on. I hope, that all of you can one day take it on too...
