Hi,
I have gone far too long without help. It is not that I don't value myself or my life. And it is not that I self harm often... It is that o have. Childhood memories of self harming and I still have Impulsions to self harm and I do not know why.

hopefully you can find the help you need here, I know a lot of us struggle with self harm so may be able to offer more advice
It sounds like things are pretty tough for you at the moment, it's understandably difficult to feel that you don't value yourself or your life. You said that you have gone too long without help, have you felt able to talk to anyone about how you have been feeling, like friends, family or a GP? You have done really well to reach out here though so well done for that!
Do you want to talk more about the reasons why you don't value yourself or your life?
You mentioned self harm and that you are experiencing childhood memories of self harming, which sounds really hard for you. It can be tough to manage self harm urges and feelings, but you aren't alone! As @BubblesGoesBoo said do you have any distractions that work for you? or worked previously?
Here is a link to some distraction techniques if you fancy taking a look when you are ready.
