What to do? I can't take it (TRIGGER WARNING- Please don't read this if you get triggered with self harm posts)
I have been doing self harm since a very young age...This are the things I do:-
1) Cutting
2) Consuming aerosol deodorant
3) Slapping myself
4) Drinking glass cleaner like Colin
5) Using incense sticks to put burn marks on wrist
These are the only ways I know how to express myself... What to do?

I'm sorry you feel so stuck in destructive behaviour.
I would say talk to a therapist, it won't help right away, and will likely make you feel worse at first but I say this from experience, a good therapist will help
@Madaraismyspiritanimal Therapist isn't currently the option for me but thnx for caring :)

Hey there! There's something called as safe self harm. You can google it. When the urge is too strong, please use rubber bands or something else that might help. You can't stop it at once, but take small baby steps, it'll surely become better.
Also, if this is coming from sef hatred or some other situation, you cn try finding out the triggers. This will take time but you'll surely get better :)
@turtle5678 Well yea that is coming out of self hatred and I can't exactly pin point where it is coming from
@kindNickel9885
Yeah, I see you. I have too been stuck in such situations where I didn't know what was causing the hatred, but don't you worry! Just try to question yourself. For me, it was often coming from how I wanted myself to be, but turns out it was not me who had built the definitions. It was how I grew up, and it's totally normal! You'll eventually find a way
