If you are struggling with thoughts of harming yourself, please know that you are not alone.
For many people, self-harm becomes a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, trauma, or deep distress. It is not a sign of weakness. Often, it is a sign that someone is carrying more pain than they were meant to carry alone.
Support can make a difference.
Speaking with a trusted friend, therapist, counselor, or support line may help you feel less alone and begin exploring safer ways to cope.
If you or someone you know may be in immediate danger, please seek emergency support right away.
