How to stop cutting
How I did it: Going to therapy, went to the mental hospital (I didn't want to but it saved my life), journalling, cognitive behavioral therapy, talking with friends and family, yoga, deep breathing...
basically, I did everything I could to beat it because I finally realized that I have a purpose in life and I need to fulfill it. I'm still not exactly sure what it is but I'm working towards it.
Lessons & tips: Set little goals for yourself
Make a checklist of things you like about yourself (even if you have to make some of them up)
TALK TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Say something you like about yourself each morning and each night before you go to bed
