^^^Wrong thread. This one is for the helpul things people say.
Also....its not exactly to do with self harm. But when my Mum died my old primary school teacher (who I hadn't seen for 6-7 years) came to the funeral and gave me a card which said:
"Be gentle with yourself...you just need some time to heal"
Along with a poem about hugs that I had written for her when I was about 7 that she kept for all those years, and a picture from her little daughter.
She didn't know about my SH but the words on the card were really apt and stuck with me. Now I try to "be gentle to myself" when I find myself getting angry or frustrated with myself.
