I don't really know what to say. I've started to self injure frequently again. I've self injured on and off since I was 15 and now that I am 18 and dealing with some mental health issues I have started to self injure again as a coping mechanism. I've never really stopped it's just been worse at moments then others. I'm tired of hiding everything and having to hide the marks. I'm just looking for some support and understanding. I guess this is the place to go.
