Self harm

Do you need a reason to self harm or can it just be because you need a release to the inner pain you feel?

I don't know about anyone else but this is my personal story. At first when I started to have thoughts about self harming I wanted to do it so I could release my inner pain but I stopped having them. About 3 weeks ago or a month ago, everything got really hard for me and I couldn't take it anymore so I self harmed for the first time. I've been self harming for about a week and then stopped. Please don't self harm. It gets addictive and then it's really hard to stop. I haven't self harmed for about 2 nearly 3 weeks but it's been really hard just I just want to feel the pain again but I try not to give in. If you feel like you want to self harm talk to someone you know you can trust and that will be there for you and if you don't feel comfortable talking to them I'm here :)
