I have been having quite intense thoughts around self harm and I've found today the hardest resist the urge. I did try to distract myself but I don't think I can hold off. I absolutely hate the way that I am and the way that I seem to be wired. It's not the worst thought Ive had lately but it's still not good. So many thoughts and feelings rattling around. I Just need a release

Hey there @Loz_3647
I think that it is really commendable that you have tried so hard to hold off. I really hope that you can find something to distract yourself from how you are feeling right now, but please know that how you're feeling is okay. I am sorry that it is a bit much for you at the moment, but I am sitting with you and sending you lots of hugs ❤️
