Hi,
Im 28 yrs old and i struggled with self harm when i was 16-20, i won my battle against depression when i turned 21 and i feel like i was reborn, after 10 years of therapy and never thinking i will be happy, i did it and I’m the happiest i could ever be. The scars on my wrists are still there even tho i stopped self harm 8 years ago and it doesn’t seem they will ever go away SO PLEASE don’t do it, its not worth it and i know it’s cliche but it will get better and you will be happy, and i don’t want you to regret having scars for the rest of your life like me, i try to convince myself that they are a reminder of the battle that i won but still.. it’s tough and awkward to explain in relationships and friendships. Trust me once you beat depression you will appreciate happiness more than anyone else and you will savor every simple moment in this life. Stay strong and talk to me if you need any advice ♥️
