Self harm addiction

The people over at Self Harm Recovery https://www.7cups.com/forum/selfharm/ might be able to support you.

I've dabbled in self harm. But luckily got help so it never got to the point of a habit. So I don't know if my tips will be relevant.

The hardest thing for me was remembering that trying to stop a behaviour never works. I needed to identify and satisfy the underlying need that was driving it. In my case it was feelings that weren't being acknowledged. I will forever be grateful to the person, who not only told me that my feelings were valid, but that I should experience them to the full. They gave me the path to accepting my anger and moving on from it. It was and is a long road, but I'm on it. And invite you along.
