Self harm was mentioned before. It was compared to oxygen.

There are lots of forms of self harm, not just cutting.

If you deliberately cause harm to yourself in any way, that's self harm.

Self harm seems to be a "taboo" subject.

It shouldn't be.

Self harm is wrong.

Self harm doesn't help.

But you know this, don't you?

You know it's bad, you know it's dearly, but you won't stop.

I know that.

Try this, you take of you're oxygen mask and try breathing without it for a while.

Practice breathing for as long as you can before you're lungs are screaming for air and you know you've reached your limit.

If you need to put that mask back on, nobody's going to judge you.

You won't have failed.

You only fail if you stop trying.

Try again once you've got your breath back.

Soon you'll be breathing on your own and that mask won't come out again.

There will be times when you feel like you need it again, but if you resist it you'll feel so much better about yourself.

We all believe in you. You can do it.

Self harm's like oxygen, but you can take of the mask...
