Hey author,
           I'm scared of blood so I don't cut myself, when I was 11 i had a little accident while I was playing I was hiding in a new building and they left a few extra material under the stairs, it was dark I was hiding with my friend and my hand accidentally brushed to this granite slab and it was my fucking wrist, I didn't realise until blood started dripping on my feet I came out of the hiding spot and I saw the slit on my wrist it was bleeding so much my neighbours freaked out while I rushed to my house later I went to the hospital and got 5 stitches it literally looked like I cut my wrist but people believed me anyway cuz I was in 6th grade, but my none of the new people I met believe me until I tell them I was in 6th grade lol cuz it looks so real my cut. Anyway so that's why I'm scared if blood or needles and blades. But growing up I started facing pain and immense pain, and hurting yourself makes you feel so much better but I just can't cut myself, I wrap my arms around myself end cry my nails start digging into my arms I pinch myself so hard as I cry, I keep hitting my head so hard to wall to feel better or sometimes I keep punching the walls (I'm very weak and skinny btw) so I just wanted to say cutting is not the only kind of self-harm :)
          
          Hope you're doing great, have a nice day

Self-harm has had a really large impact on my life, and I want to thank you for writing your book. I also wrote a book on self-harm and my experiences with it, in case anyone here wants to read it. I met some wonderful people in the comments of the journal book, thank you so much for showing me the people I can relate to that can help me and that I can help. Thank you, I love you!!!
