Hey there Darien,

I’m really sorry to hear about what happened with your boyfriend and i can understand why it’s left you feeling like this. Like people have said already, going a year without self harming is a huge achievement and it shows how strong you are. You should be really proud of yourself.

I’m glad to hear you don’t want to fall back into the habit of cutting. Have you thought about doing something else to help calm yourself down if you’re feeling anxious? Maybe if you came up with another coping strategy it would help with the panic attacks too? I don’t know if you’ve looked through TeenHelps list of 'alternatives to self harm' already, but i suggest you check it out.

I’m also wondering if you’ve been able to talk to anyone about the cutting or panic attacks? Maybe if you spoke to your parents or your doctor they will be able to support you or help you come up with ways to manage how you’re feeling.

I do hope you feel a bit better.
If you want to talk about anything then feel free to shoot me a PM.

Take care,
Victoria
