Sorry to say this but dose comparing how long you can last really help. Kind of makes me feel bad when all I can put is two days and i think I'm doing good. Sorry probably just me in my own little silly world.

I don't really know. An awful long time though. But I do have a question for you guys. How do you keep yourself from doing it again?

oooooo goodie, i was hoping someone would ask this. it's good to see others have not been doing it for a while too

i didn't write it down, but i think it's been since august 2005 since last time i hurt myself. i don't count the times i bite my arm or cut with something that's not a knife or razor. i consider those two the 'main two'. i know it was august because that's when i quit my job because my manager was purposly embarassing me (because he and others refused to show me how to DO the job) in front of customers and tons of other stuff.

one time i went a whole year without doing it! i have no idea how i done it but i wish i could do it again. its so hard to stop because once your body and mind gets set in the 'relief' mode, it's hard to get out of that. i knew that hurting myself equaled mental relief. but like my counselor told me, its only temporary relief and long term pain.

the scars are healing now, thank goodness. some of them are so yucky that mom said i'd need surgery to fix them. i don't want that though because i worry about the feeling i my arm going completely and ending up with even more scars after surgery. of course i dont' know how it all works though.

Only a couple of months but it's getting hard again.

 

[ChasingADream]

About 15 minutes.

 

[oneandlonely]

About 15 minutes.

15 minutes is still great, every minute is great.

a day for me...

 

[ChasingADream]

15 minutes is still great, every minute is great.

a day for me...

for you.....

 

[ChasingADream]

Thanks. Oddly enough it is because I am worried to death about something and it has nothing to do with me at all. I have never cut for that reason before. It doesn't even make any sense to me. Does it to you?
