Hey Aern,

Thanks. Its lovely to hear from you as well No need to be sorry about my caring, I don't actually regret it - if anything its made my urges worse. I've kind of just been struggling today in communicating and people have mistaken me in being in a bad mood but I have actually been in a good mood just quiet/thoughtful. So maybe I was frustrated, I don't know. Either way it was a sense of calm to I guess help keep me that way.

Giving those tools to your friends was a really big big big step! Congrats. If you really want to stop then I think I would mostly agree with your friends that you should give up the scissors too. I also think that its really good that you have a good support system with your friends and wish you the best on successfully ending the self harming you wish to
