Advice?
I’m a high school student who has been struggling with my mental health. I’d started about 6 months ago, in moments of anger or sadness grabbing anything sharp. I would do it on my hip as it would be easy to hide. It started to become more and more preset, now I can’t stop & spiraling. I’m trying to figure out how to get better and get thru the thoughts of being better of & less of a burden dead. Any advice? It would mean a lot & thank you
