My self harm addiction

I've been self harming for around 5-6 years now and it's only gotten worse. I used to do it a few times a week to help cope with past trauma and my mental health but now it's something I can't stop, let go or escape. Now I do it every day and half the time I don't have a reason for doing it, sometimes I just want it for no reason and it's seriously getting worse, my legs/thighs look horrible and so do my arms. I've tried getting help and doing other coping mechanisms but nothing seems to work I always go back to self harm and it's starting to prevent me from wearing certain clothes and going out because I'm terrified of what people will think or say. I just don't know what to do anymore I can't stop it.

Im sorry that you are having these struggles and I’m really glad that you felt like you could share with us here.

what Coping skills have you tried in the past?  I don’t have a magical cure, but I am here and I do understand.
