I started self harming again after a 10 year break when my ex left 2.5 years ago.

I don't know what I want. I drank too much wine and I have razor blades. But I war someone to tell me not to .
I don't want to be tis person

Have you talked with a doctor about it? There is help; talking therapy and/or antidepressants.

You’re not alone, many people do it. Don’t feel ashamed about asking for help.

I really recommend phoning the Samaritans if you’re feeling like harming yourself at the moment, sometimes just people able to talk and let it all out can be as cathartic as a cut.

You do know what you want, you want to wake up tomorrow and not have self harmed. You want to feel strong, and proud and know that you don’t need to do this anymore. And that you have a choice.
You don’t need to do it. There are other things you could be doing.
It’s up to you - no one will make you stop. But you don’t have to.
You could wait for a bit? Maybe see how you feel at 11pm and then decide?
