I hate when people think that they can solve your problems for you. They probably aint even gotten their own lives sorted. So how the medical question will they know what is best for you. They dont. You think self harming is a sickness?? Then o god save me im sick. Lol. Its not a sickness it is a way of coping. You dont catch it it is part of you.
You think self harming people are weak?? Do you know how much strength it takes to cut your self?? No.
Cos you aint been there and till you have been through it back off you know nothing. You only see what you see.
You can possible give advice on what you dont no so dont because you will never doing it understand.
