I Am Battling Self Harm

I thought I had gotten over this. I really really did. It's been months since I last did it and now I've just went and ruined everything. There is only so much shit a person can take, and I don't desire to harm other people so I end up harming myself instead. There is just no way to deal with it anymore, I know it isn't the answer but instead telling me what the answer isn'ti need to know what it is

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.
