Self-harm as a new way to cope during covid...
Hello everyone,
I am absolutely new here and almost new to self-harm, which of course I am not proud of and would like to quit. But somehow, during covid, my emotions are exacerbated and out of control and I guess cutting makes me feel like at least I can control this, I can survive the next day if I survive the pain, etc. — I imagine you know the drill...
I am looking for resources, support groups, anything to help me cope better and disengage with this behavior. Every time I have an "episode," I feel good for a few minutes and regret it immediately as I realize what I have done.
I know I am not alone, but I feel old (35...) and helpless. I guess I am posting this first message ever to an online forum in the hopes that something positive will come out of it.
Thanks for reading, and for replying if you want.
xx
