I want to use what I’ve gone through as a way to help other people who struggle with self-harm and self-harm urges. I especially want to help people who may be considering self-harm realize that it’s not the answer. A self-harm addiction makes your life a living hell and brings pain to those close to you. Yes, you’re in pain, and self-harm might seem like a way to relieve that pain. But do you really want to sell your life away to self-harm? There are more effective ways to deal with your emotions and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. One method that has proved highly effective in the treatment of self-harm is Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
