Trigger Warning: Self Harm.
I have self-harmed in the past (but haven’t for the past 10 days). I just want to ask people about strategies they have for self-harm so I can hopefully not self-harm in the future. Please know I am safe and NOT engaging in self-harm.

Hey @love101,
I am so sorry to hear that things are rough right now. I understand how scary and painful it can be to live with these thoughts and urges. Do you have any professional support in place? Bow previously posted some useful strategies (TIPP) in this thread that might be helpful. We have also emailed you, so please have a look at that as well
Sitting with you 💜
