Answer 1

Hey,

I was Self-Harming for 4 years. I was very ashamed about it and never told anyone anything. A year ago I started getting very upset and irritable. My Father referred me to a counsellor. It took a couple of months of seeing her until I finally told her about it. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done but it was SO worth it! I'm still struggeling to overcome but a couple of things that helped me are:

Started going to the gym

Distracted myself with a book or music

made the desicion to STOP

And to just keep talking with people about how your going and what the underlying reasons are as to why your doing it.

My self harm got to a point were I was admitted to hospital a couple of times. When I was their I realized that I am not alone. There are so many others going through similar things!

You'll get through it! It takes time

Best option is to get a weight set and take your anger or self-loathing out by putting yourself through strenuous physical activity.  Keep it physical man.
