Hello and welcome to Teenhelp! It is wonderful that you have joined us and thank you so much for coming on and telling us about what you have been going through. I am so sorry that you are having a hard time with this right now and I hope that you will be okay soon. When we have been self harming it is hard to just stop. Everyone does this for different reasons. When you are getting the feeling to do this it is a good idea to try something to get your mind off of this for a while. For example putting on a funny movie or TV show or grabbing a book to read for a while or drawing or painting or if you have a pet, play with them for a while or baking cookies or brownies or calling a friend or doing something else that you enjoy doing. Sometimes we may have to do a few different things to help us to make the feeling go away and be ok. If you have to do a few things to help you, it is totally fine and try not to get upset. If you are still in school you can try talking to the school counselors or if you have a teacher that you trust and ask them to talk about what you are going through. They always want to help us when we are going through something, so that we will be ok soon. If you would like to try talking with your parents, try that or write a letter and put everything in it. At the end of this ask to talk about this. I hope that you will be okay soon.
