This chapter feels very tough to write. I've been struggling with self harm for the past five or so years. My struggles are caused by issues with self esteem. I've never really been able to see myself as an equal to others, I've judged my own actions too harshly, and these thoughts eventually caused me to punish myself.
I've been trying to improve my self esteem for many years, and even though it's been extremely difficult at times, I am slowly getting better and hopefully I'll one day be able to leave this harmful mindset behind for good. Meanwhile, I want to help and support others who are going through similar struggles. No one should ever be left alone with these thoughts.
