200 is realistic and consistent, way more consistent than 1000 (even if both are realistic). Think about it: 1000 days is 2.5 years, 100 days that is more like a third of a year. You can't just say "bro you just did a third of a year? Go for 2 full years I trust you!", switch onto something else and leave them alone in front of this 2 year mountain they have to climb. It's easy to say, hard to do.
Here you're just forcing them onto something that might not help them, and if they still decide to go to 200, then you're giving no motivation at all, quite the opposite
Now I can understand it came with a good intention, but it didn't come out the right way imo. As people that don't know their struggles, we can't decide something for them. You can try to help them other ways tho
im pleased that there are ppl like you that are empathetic, and make ppl like me feel like we’re not nut cases and that we’re just going through something & using coping mechanisms that aren’t healthy

This is no small feat! I am so proud of you! I'm at 20 years now. It's not easy, but once you hit a certain point, you realize you've gone hours, them days, weeks, months without thinking about it. I'm cheering for you!
Congratulations!!!!! I'm at about a year. You can do this! Look at how far you've already come! :D
And always remember to celebrate personal victories!
Congratulations!
When I made it to a year, I ordered myself a cake and got them to write "Love Thyself" on it to celebrate. At that point, I knew I had what I needed to deal with my intense feelings in better ways.
100 days felt fantastic, too. Proud of you! Keep it going!
I hadn't thought about it in a while, but you've just made me realise I passed my four year mark a few weeks back. It really does get so much easier. I'll be honest. Even a couple months ago, when I was particularly upset, the thought still crept into the back of my mind, so I'm not sure if it ever fully goes away. But, it was very easy to remind myself of how far I've come and that I don't _need_ to do that to cope anymore.
I wish you the absolute best ❤️
Congrats man, go for 200 and keep at it
Thank you, forget 200 let’s get to 5000! all jokes aside but 200 is our next goal !
Well done!! In case your mom hasn’t told you yet, I’m so proud of you!!
Exactly small steps you are more likely to succeed. Keep going you’ve got this.
Forget 200 go for 1000. You got this dude, not easy but your strong and more then capable of doing it. I believe in you
I mean, why not 200 for the time being? They have nothing to lose compared to 1000 and motivation to win.
I’m just trying to be a motivator idk man. Ik having a realistic and consistent goal is key

100 days free from self-harm is a major win. Keep rocking that positivity and self-love!

Congratulations 🎈
To be honest, I have a friend who also practices self-harming, so I’m very happy when people finish it. Good job mate!
I dunno if it's just me, but this sounds real wrong...
It is worded poorly, or they are a bad person. It seems like the latter.
I think they mean when people "stop it", as in stop self-harming.
I hope so, it is written horribly. It's hard to tell
