hey,
i turn 16 in just over a week, and it’ll be over 4 years of self harming. trust me, get some help. I listen to and have seen a lot of self harmers and the tell tale signs of harmers.
As a first hand harmer, and one who has seen the effects on others, don’t try it, don’t even start. it is a very difficult thing to stop, it can become an addiction and some scars may stay with u for the rest of your life. Personally, i know some of mine will and i regret even starting.
I’m trying to stop, and i encourage anyone else who is harming to reach out and get some help. it’s always difficult to take that first step, but there is always someone willing to help. you’re not alone.
