Well, I started to self-harm a couple of years due to a stressful event in my life involving a very important person to me. When i started i probably used to hurt myself everydsy for a couple of months, until i met someone who helped me. Even if i had someone with me the thought of self-harming was always there at the back of my mind and with every slightly more stressful thing that happened i would grab a little razor blade i had but i made a promise to not to do it anymore. Despite that it was still very hard for me, recently things have been getting worse, i havent self harmed in almost 1 year (i started a little over 3 years ago) but as school has just started the stress is accumulating and it's getting harder to cope with it. I always feel like i have noone i can really count on and confide on, so it kind of stacks up inside and lately its been too much that i just want to start it again

Hi there... First of all I want to say that I am really proud of you for sharing all this with us... Askinf for help is a strenght. And I am also proud of you for going without self-harming for such a long time. It is amazing, and the urges you feel now do not take away the progress you have made. I hear how things are getting very difficult lately... Can you think of any alternatives to sh you used successfully in the past? You are not alone in this, our community is here to support you <3
