Announcement

I would like to announce that as of today I will never self-harm again. I am determined that after 10 years of self-harm and way too many trips to A&E I will quit. I mark it and as a dramatic gesture to shock myself into willpower I have had a small orange SI Awareness ribbon tattooed on my hip.

To everyone who wants to give up and feels they can't... try. Try your very hardest. Set yourself goals and targets. Be strong and you'll do it. I sincerely believe that.

Thank you.

I'm not saying good luck. Someone enlightened as the OP won't need luck anymore. Luck is for the useless people.

That's fantastic OP
But I know it's all a great idea and all but what you have to remember is that it will be hard. SHing is like an addiction, and that it won't be easy. I guess what I'm saying is that if you relapse then it is really no BIG deal. Try and think of it like that because or else you may get very guilty and hard on yourself and then start up all over again...I know from experience.

Anyway, good luck, and remember it's ok if you relapse, the gaps between will get longer and longer until it's pretty much all gone :smile:
