Self-harm..

Does anyone else have trouble with this? I have struggled with it for years and although I quit this last summer, things are getting out of hand again and its the only way I can release my stress.. I haven't done it yet but am seriously contemplating. Anyone.. please help... I have no one to turn to anymore, no one to even talk to...

Definitely don't do it!  I would suggest grabbing an ice cube when you have the urge and let it melt completely in your hand.  Distract yourself by starting a movie you enjoy that is not going to bring you emotionally back to where you are or listening to music or even reading a book.  The ice cube will hurt, but at least you are not actually hurting yourself in the long run.

I am also a person you could message and talk to. I've had the same problem and I'm not completely away from it. I've quit multiple times for the past 4 years and I'm trying my  hardest to not go back. I feel the same way.
