This is the first (and last) time i have wandered over to this section of mn. I have a lot of personal experience in this area and thought I could maybe help someone. Instead I have found many of the threads very triggering and do not feel I can respond to them. However, I would just like to share this link:
Www.selfharmony.co.uk
It helped me a lot. My family and friends found it useful too, I understand it can be very hard to try and understand why someone would want to physically hurt themselves. I hope it helps at least one person here, and I wish all of you the very best.
