For me self harm was my way of not killing myself, it was my way of coping, i'm not saying self harm is a good thing as it's a very bad coping mechanism but I don't think i'd be here today without it.

I pretty much stopped self harming after accepting myself and coming out, i've only had a couple of slips but it's still my first thought when I feel anxious or depressed.

I've never been able to cut my self with a knife. Maybe, leave a mark or two, but that's it in that regard.
I self harm by punching a wall; i do this when i'm depressed, stressed, or doing it if i've upset someone.
I know it's wrong for me to be doing it & i'm already in contact with a therapist.
