Hey Melanie,

I am sorry that you found your doctor rather unhelpful and made you feel worse. You are doing really well to have gone 3 weeks without self harm! That is a great achievement, which you can build on. Don't let your doctor set you back because it really isn't worth it and I know you are much stronger than that.

I think your doctor needs to be more understanding and realise that self harm is an addiction and it isn't just a matter of stopping. Perhaps you need to explain that to her. The other option would be to see a different doctor if you think she is no help and only makes you feel worse. You will meet people who will be understanding and want to help so don't let her put you off getting help that you deserve.

You can do this so keep going! Stay strong.
