You're not alone. There's lots of us out here who have been through hard times, too.
My care coordinator told me to hold ice on my hands if I ever feel like self harming. I haven't tried it yet but I've tried to throw light stuff across my room to prevent making any damage to my room. I am with my friends now which is a good distraction
