That feeling of calm you get after you self-harm is like being high, where everything in the world looks okay for a minute. If you are self-harming, I know you are tired. You are confused and scared, and you want it to stop. As painful and exhausting as the thought of hurting yourself might be, it is understandable that; when you feel as though you have no option, doing unthinkable things becomes a choice.

Do you know you are beautiful, strong, and amazing? Even though self-harm might give you relief for a moment, it does not fix the problem you are facing.

Most people who self-harm keep it away from other people. They put up a wall and prevent themselves from being loved, validated, seen, and understood.

Apply the following tips:

#1 Speak

Your voice is powerful. Please speak up. You are a fighter and a survivor.

 

#2 Your body is proof that you can heal

The scars on your body are the evidence of your healing. Since your body can heal, your mind can heal too.

 

#3 You are never alone

When it feels like loneliness wants to break you, you need to know you are not alone. The people who love you want to understand how you feel. Let them in! 

 

#4 There will be low moments, and that’s okay

There will be days you take some steps forward and some steps backward, but it’s all part of healing. Falling will make you stronger, more capable, and wiser.

 

#5 Don’t give up

Your story is important. Don’t give up. Your story will heal others and give them a reason to be hopeful.

Through it all, you are still always you:

beautiful and bruised.

Life is good only when you give it a trial.

By the time you finish reading this, two or three people would have committed suicide. In fact, according to WHO, every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide, and close to 800,000 people die by suicide each year. These stats are alarming. There are a lot of people out there who are desperate and tethering on the edge of life, not sure whether they should stick around or not.

Suicidal thoughts are not spontaneous; a lot of symptoms serve as potential warning signs for suicide.

The symptoms include the following:

#1 Excessive sadness and moodiness

#2 Withdrawal

#3 Hopelessness

#4 Dangerous or self-harmful behavior

#5 Talking about suicide

#6 Shame

#7 Sleep problems

#8 Recent trauma or life crisis

Even though I am not in your shoes right now, you need to keep on swinging because life has its ups and downs. You need to stick around because tomorrow is full of possibilities. You might feel like the only way out of your pain is to stop your pulse, but this is just a fantasy. Swallowing those pills, or firing that gun will only result in more pain.

Give yourself a chance to hope, to dream, and to love because you deserve it. If you stick around, you will be able to love, grow, find your calling, and feel gratitude once again. The best thing is sharing your problems and finding a solution to them.

Whenever you feel like giving up, remember the reason you held on for so long. Life is worth living. Give it a chance!
