Welcome to TheSite message boards
It's great that you want to stop self harming! That's a really positive thing to hear. Do you have any positive coping mechanisms in place that you could do instead when you find yourself wanting to harm?
Its great that you came here and I hope that in time you'll be able to open up to us.
Also, its just worth checking out the Childline website as they have a message board similar to ours but have specific boards for anxiety, depression and self harm
I'm Becki by the way :wave:
Welcome to TheSite boards!
Feel free to get involved, but it's worth bearing in mind that this place specialises in support for people aged 16-25. As Becki mentioned, Childline is specially designed for anyone up to the age of 19, so you might find it a little easier to over there.
Of course, you're welcome to stick around if you like, I'd just have a look at Childline first
