Congratulations! It seems like you have a good coping mechanism in place now! Maybe you can continue to use that and also write down others you think may work!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

Thats great! Congrats! You are doing so well, I've been where you are in the first few weeks and months of being self harm free, and I won't lie to you, it is hard sometimes it was really hard for me because there were many times in the past seven years that I have had either very strong urges to cut or there have been triggers. But I believe in you, one day you'll be celebrating six months self harm free then a year then five years then ten years, I'm coming up on my eighth year. I believe in you, you can do this! You'll have ups and downs but if you want to talk please don't hesitate to PM me. You are amazing. I want to tell you something it's the motivational quote for this month on my To Write Love On Her Arms calendar, it says: "You are something priceless you and all your fears and dreams" I hope that quote speaks to you and motivates you. Keep going. You'll be celebrating one year self harm free before you know it.
I was born with a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis, it causes tumors to grow in my body on nerves,my spine,and under my skin. I have a tumor in the thalamus region of my brain. I also have heartburn,hypothyroidism and secondary adrenal insufficiency these are under control with medication.
I also have hip dysplasia and scoliosis.
