However, it's crucial to remember that you're not isolated in this journey. Self-harm isn't the only path forward; there are individuals who deeply care about you and are eager to offer their support. This could be a friend, a family member, or a professional in mental health—someone who can provide the understanding and support you need during these tough times. You are worthy of being listened to, of being understood, and of receiving support as you work through these challenges. Please, don't hesitate to reach out for help. You are not alone, and there is always assistance available to you.
