Hi Tina. I'm sorry you're feeling bad enough to need to self injure, but I'm very relieved to hear you do it safely.
I don't think those who don't self injure understand how self harm can really be self help (as long as it's done safely), and that the consequences of not doing it can be worse than a bit of damage to the skin. At least, I sure can't convince them of that. :(
Which is not to say that I don't try to find other methods of coping, because I do. But even with my promise to my therapist, there are times I can't stop myself. And then I just try to minimize damage.
I hope you feel better soon, Tina.
