I noticed this article on the myths of self harm. It should also be subtitled coping with thoughts of self harm and other resources. It is someone's experience and also a way out. I felt it helped me so I am sharing a brief excerpt of it and a link to the full article. by Nicole Lyons, a blogger and person experiencing self harm and finding a way out.

Excerpt
"A lot of people are under the illusion that self-harm is defined by that emo or goth teenager dressed in black that keeps to themselves, when in reality, self-harm does not discriminate, it’s just like mental illness in that aspect, but it is not exclusive to people who have a diagnosis of mental illness. Self-harm can effect anyone from any background, race or gender."

"If you are the one who is self-harming, please don’t give up. I promise you that you can recover from this. I’m not just another person blowing smoke at you; I’m someone who used self-harm as an unhealthy coping mechanism for ten years. It’s been seven years now since I’ve hurt myself. You can do this! The first thing that you must understand is that relapse is a very real possibility and if it happens it doesn’t mean that you can’t start over again. The hardest thing about choosing to get well is that you have to want it. You have to put in the effort and you have to fight for it. You must make a commitment to do this. It’s hard, I’m not going to lie, but it’s doable and you are worth it. One of the best things that I did was talk to people who were in recovery from self-harm, they gave me hope and I realized that I wasn’t alone and that I could find healthy coping techniques."
