I did understand that your initial reasons for self harming are as a coping mechanism, I just wanted to see if you could explore ways of feeling additional comfort so that perhaps you would no longer even need SI as a coping mechanism. Of course it's 'ok' to feel like you do, any feelings are ok and real for whoever is having them. I hope that you can find coping mechanisms other than SI. Stay safe. xxx

	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.
