Disclaimer: This article is based on my experience as someone with chronic depression who self-harms. It does not reflect the thoughts or opinions of anyone else. If you are or have considered self-harm, please talk to a medical professional.

  2. Self-harm doesn't (just) mean cutting
  3. People self-harm for a million reasons
