Hey, Abbie.

I believe it's key to believe that you can stop self-harming, instead of thinking about "what if I don't?". Think of it this way: I'm sure it'll be well worth the fight if you can get past this, and you've shown that you recognise the problem and want to get through it, which is great!

As much as some people can be judgmental about SH, a true friend will stick with you through it, and I can promise you there will be someone like that out there. Even if there isn't, you can do this for yourself. You don't deserve to be punished; I think you're a very nice person who doesn't deserve anything like this at all.

If you've gone deep, seek medical attention ASAP. I wish you all the best with this. Feel free to message me anytime!
