I Am Battling Self Harm

You need love and support. You deserve it.

Making one mistake isn't "ruining everything." If you keep on fighting this, you will win. How do I know that? If you have managed to avoid it for months, you can avoid it completely at some point in the future. Give yourself some credit here; you are actually, in general, doing pretty well.

You will battle with self harm for a long, long time. Sometimes you think you're past it and it comes from nowhere. But you are probably doing one of the best things you can.... Talk with someone, either a random person or someone you trust that won't judge you. Put on a happy song and dance, write everything that's wrong down and rip it to tiny shreds, color, take a walk, sleep. Sometimes you have to just tell yourself you can make it one more minute and keep saying it until it's true.

Well, yeah, it's all well and good to express your pain in a better way like writing, venting, ect...But What is the real problem? For someone to go as far as hurting themselves it's a lack of control in particular situations. So,are you being bullied,family troubles, ect..???

I would like you to turn your wounds into a scar instead of slapping a bandaid on it and calling it a day, so to speak.

Well how about running or finding something you like to do? Lets the situation win does not help. How did you deal with it in the past when you stopped?
