Hi Mixxyjixxy 

Here at CrazyBoards our goal is to approach self harm within a recovery context.  This means that we aim to encourage one another in the process of  finding alternative coping methods.  We do not judge when someone has slipped or is having trouble quitting, but equally we do not encourage or tolerate sharing details of self harm methods for others to try. 

I am sorry that you are in a bad place right now.  You say the "news broke" that you were hurting yourself.  Do you have access to a counsellor at your school, or is your mother helping you to seek professional guidance?

There are several helpful topics pinned at the top of the self injury forum, including our guidelines for posting here.  I encourage you to read through them.

Other methods to take out the aggression you feel towards yourself? Exercise can be good. A healthy way to make yourself hurt, as long as you don't get carried away. It can help a bit. Speaking from experience.
