I'm sorry you've been so on edge that self harm has seemed to be like the only way to avoid attempting suicide. I can understand how it can feel like that, but I do think if you keep persevering with things like your painting then you could allow for the self harm urge to pass. I know that being in between wanting to self harm and not wanting to self harm can be a tough place and feel like you can't really win either way, but please keep trying to find safer ways to manage things.

	I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much. Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass. You didn't come this far just to come this far.
