Self harm is never the answer to any problem. There are so many other ways to combat anxiety. You just to have to find healthy ways that work for you. You need to seek professional help if you’re thinking about harming yourself. I wish this was never anyone’s way of coping with things and hope that if it is they are able to overcome it. Any bad behavior can be overcome and be taught to work things out in a safer way. No one should be able to do self harm so you really need to get professional help and even reach out to crisis care.

I know it may seem like self-harm is the only thing that is keeping you from your anxiety, but in truth, it is not. I've gone through the same feeling recently, but I managed to pull through. Here are some things I did:
- Talk about what you're anxious about with someone who can listen to you, perhaps someone from our community
- Think not about your anxiety, but about the thoughts you're having. There is usually faulty thinking at play here
- Find a way to physically relax. Listen to calming music, take deep breaths, meditate
I know how hard it can be to go through, but I know you will overcome this. :)
