I have told her, though to be honest I haven't had an urge to hurt myself that's been that strong since February of last year.

Hi, I'm just kind of scared, I'm sorry I haven't really been active, I mean I post an introduction and leave basically. I just really need to talk to someone about what's happened in the last week because I don't know what to do and the thought of hurting myself keeps coming back up. I saw my...
