How I did it
It made me
better 
How I did it: Therapeutic journaling is just a mouse click away! :PI can write and post things that others can look at to help them and I can look at their posts to help me. It is convenient and all you need is a laptop or computer....and the reason I am writing such a long description is because it won't let me post until I "write a bit more about how [I] did this" 150 characters minimum is a bit harsh for posts like this where you don't need this muc… Read how I did it…
It made me
happy and proud
How I did it: Going to therapy, went to the mental hospital (I didn't want to but it saved my life), journalling, cognitive behavioral therapy, talking with friends and family, yoga, deep breathing...basically, I did everything I could to beat it because I finally realized that I have a purpose in life and I need to fulfill it. I'm still not exactly sure what it is but I'm working towards it. Read how I did it…

When I was younger I was always outside running around, so I always had cuts and bruises on my legs. I would always pick at the scabs until they bled. People sometimes thought I had chicken pocks I had so many scabs on my legs. Then I started picking at the skin around my nails. I would pick until they were swollen, red and bleeding. People would always ask what happened to my fingers and I never knew what to say. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder) and I cut myself. I’ve always struggled with anxiety, and I am guessing that this, along with my perfectionism and low self-esteem, led me to self harm. I have finally stopped cutting and picking at my nails! I am so proud of myself. However, lately I have been under stress, as I am going away to college in August, and I have been picking at my skin and scalp almost constantly when I am alone. I was so happy I found this website because it was such a relief to find a community to help people through this.
