You are not alone.

There are a lot of people like us, but not a lot of people know about it. Little research has been done on people who self-harm, and is still considered a symptom or manifestation of other disorders (rather than a disorder in itself).

Good luck to you. I hope you find all the support you need in this community. We're in this together.
