Re: My story with self-harm -

To Warrior,
May I just say that I'm sorry for everything that you've been through and I get what some of it is like. You are very brave to be sharing your story, and doing so is a very important step towards healing.
It seems like self-harm has become a very regular thing for you, almost as if it is a part of you. While your scars are most certainly a part of you, the action isn't. It is simply an action, it does not define you in any way. You may feel like in order to be you you have to be doing some form of self-harm but that is not the case. There is so much more to you than scars and scabs, so much more depth, you are more important and strong then I think you give yourself credit for.
I would recommend trying to find out why you self-harm. The very core reason, and if right now you cut just because it's a habit, look back and see why you started and what need of yours that you felt wasn't getting satisfied. Find what your missing that you think that self-harm fills, if only for a short time, and then look for an alternative(s) that fill it as well, just without the danger of self-harm.
I hope this helps in some way, friend.
I wish you the best of luck on your journey <3
HAPPINESS is just waiting for me to take it; I truly believe that now.
