I agree. As the writer of this story, I know it's pretty dark. At the beginning of it, i was going through some things but I'm better now. I'm now 4-6 months clean(the exact date is unsure) and I'm happy with the people I'm friends with. Self harm is one of the worst coping skills anyone could have. It's like an addictive drug, and never the answer. Same goes for suicide. I have lost too many people close to me because of suicide, and it is never ever the answer. If anyone is struggling with either I urge them to reach out to hotlines, and get professional help. Please message me for more details if you need them.
