Welcome to the boards, it's nice to meet you
I'm sorry to hear that you've been finding things so tough for so long, but well done for deciding to talk about it - that takes real courage.
This place is designed to help you talk about these kinds of things, so do have a look around and get involved
You might like to start your own thread over in the Health & Wellbeing section. It's also worth having a quick read of this thread, which talks a bit about how we support each other with self-harm.
Hope to see you around!
James
