" to be honest, it sometimes makes me not want to cut...but there are also times that it makes me feel like cutting...its hard i find but sometimes it makes me feel better if i'm helping someone else not cut and then not cutting myself makes me feel even better....its showing i have a little control over it...i hope you're not triggered tonight:( "

" If I had found this website a few rears ago I would have been triggered to cut. I am so much stronger now and I havnt cut since October 2005. I feel so much worse when I cut. Now reading peoples posts I feel sad and it does remind me of where i was but I also feel proud. I hope everyone can reach this stage. xx "

" Honestly, I've had temptations, but I found when people message me I find it to help myself. I know that it seems like it's weird, but it helps. And when I do, I talk to those who need someone to talk to or I talk to someone who is willing to listen because they have been in my shoes. I hope you're not triggered. Please feel free to message me.
