You are never too far gone. It takes a LOT of time and a LOT of heartache, and many many MANY failed attempts before you can walk away from a blade (or whatever it is that a person struggles with).
It takes working on the CAUSES underneath, not just targetting the behavior. Because self-injury doesn't stop when you target the self-injuring behavior rather than what's leading to the desire to hurt yourself.
You can do this one small step at a time. There will be backtracking and there will be times when you just tread water. But you will make progress.
The journey is long and hard and worth it. And we are here for you every step, because YOU are worth it.
