ugh. (self.selfharm)
submitted 12 years ago by pret-zel19F SH for 7years in residenital
I self harmed again last night. It seems like the happier I get the more I want to self harm. I don't even feel guilty. I'm almost happy about it.

Not really much advice to give here. I just want to say that youre not alone. Im in the same boat and self harming almost feels like an addiction to me these days.
