Hi
@Lost hope2014 and welcome to SF. I'm really sorry you're struggling so much, sweetie. What your mom is telling you is not true. Some people self harm because they're in a lot of pain, but everyone eventually becomes addicted to it, and it happens very fast. It's not good to do it though, it doesn't make things better, on the contrary. Stop before it controls you. There are safer alternatives. We won't ignore you, we are here for you, to listen and to understand, and we don't judge. Do you want to tell us about what makes you feel so much pain? Sending hugs.
