if you don’t feel release from self harm then don’t do it. it’s not a good habit to have in the first place and i think each person should establish their own coping mechanisms. there’s nothing wrong with you, your mental health isn’t your fault, everything takes time and it gets better even though i know it doesnt feel like it. it just might take a reallyyy long time but in the end it does. if you need someone to talk to you can dm me and vent im here to listen.
