Alright, so time for some honesty just because I feel like I can do something to help others. Back in high school, I wasn’t the happiest. From May of freshman year through fall of my senior year, I was a self-harmer. On and off I would make promises to stop, but ultimately fell back into it. I was extremely secretive about it and to this day only four or five people were really aware of it. I thought if people were aware of what I was going through they’d look at me differently, but now since I’ve put this in my past I’m very open about it.
So, if you’re struggling with self-harm (scratching, cutting, burning, etc.) please do not hesitate to ask for advice or just use me as someone to talk to on the issue. I know how hard it can be to face these kinds of demons alone.
