Hi Miss Laura,
I hope spending time with your loved ones will be helpful to you.
I am saddened for you. You don't deserve to be harmed physically or otherwise.
I hope you can find enough self-love to want to stop harming yourself.
Have you ever just sat with paper and a pen and listed your good attributes, the reasons you deserve love, esp. self-love?
You might make a different list of ideas of how to practice self-care, self-love?
Might you ask members of your family to list your good qualities? This might help you to see your worth?
If you can make a list on ways to love yourself, you then might look at the list when you feel like self-harming and do the opposite. Don't self-harm externally or inwardly, instead take an action which expresses self-love.
Do you have some fun hobbies? Hobbies which do not put you further at risk, but hobbies which leave you feeling better about yourself? Maybe hobbies which help you to express yourself? Art work/ccreativity of some type?
What do you do for fun?
I hope you will discover reasons to celebrate yourself and your life!
Much Love to You, Laura!
