Today I couldn't take it more and I harmed myself

I felt so guilty, ashamed, and angry with myself. The urge to harm me was overwhelming and I did it.

I’m so sorry you found yourself in such a bad place. I don’t know what to say to help except you don’t deserve to be hurt, you deserve the chance to heal. Take care of yourself, you deserve better.

Do you want to talk about it? You can talk about it, if you want a listener, I’m listening.

Oh sweet friend, I am so sorry you struggled and hurt yourself. I am glad you reached out here and shared. We all care about you and your well-being. Whenever you have that urge to harm yourself try reaching out here first or reaching out to a close friend. There seems to be someone on HU all the time that can remind you why it is important you don't harm yourself. Do you know what triggered you to have the desire to harm yourself? Usually, it is something that happened and we feel out of control so to feel like you have some control and relief we look for an outlet. But harming yourself as you know is not the answer. Have a go to activity ready instead of harming yourself. What works best is if is something physical like running, biking, doing an exercise video (that usually works for me). Also, don't be ashamed. We all fall back into the pattern of behavior we don't want to do. Encourage yourself that next time you will reach out to someone, and do something that will give you the release of emotions without harming yourself. You might find this site (bit.ly/34bvRF8) helpful. I will be praying for you. Feel free to pm me if you need someone to share with or to remind you how important you are and that harming yourself isn't the answer. Hugs and God Bless
