Would you like support or advice on anything from us? I would be grateful if I could get some advice. I am currently though family problems and it has been affecting my mental health and causing me to go back to self-harming. Plus a person from my dark past came back recently and that is not helping with the other stuff. So in steps the most important thing is to stop the self-harming bit how can I stop? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Harry, Thank you for telling me more about what's going on for you. Also, I agree, the biggest priority now is to reduce how much you're self-harming, and even stop if you feel like that is possible right now. The important thing about self-harming is that it is a way of coping for many people, and it's essential to recognise and find other ways of coping to move away from it successfully. I'm wondering, can you tell me about a time where you've successfully coped with a mental health difficulty without hurting yourself? Also, have you seen our support guide on safe alternatives to self-harm? Maybe you can have a read and try a couple of strategies for the next few times you want to injure yourself: 15 Safer Alternatives to Self Harm - Ditch the Label Speak soon and take care. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsoon Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hey there, Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm wondering, what kind of things did that person do to help you? Also, did you manage to read our self-harm support guide? If so, which tips do you think you'll try? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry18 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 She took care of me while I was In a dark place by being a friend and by making sure I wasn't alone so I would do something stupid. She never left my side literally she still talks and cares for me today. I did read the tips and I haven't decided which ones to try. The way I self-harm myself is by not eating and physically beating myself up so I don't use scissors or knifes like some do. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
