Does anyone else struggle with SH even if they don’t have any urges?

      If you're talking about self harm then yes absolutely. I self harmed for almost 15 years before I was able to stop and even now I get urges all the time. I haven't done any in almost 10 years but now I have scars from other traumas and for me, when I look at the scars that were caused by someone else i tell myself that I survived that so I can survive anything. It helps with the urges but it doesn't make them go away. I don't know if they ever will. I find it easier if I can find something good about my scars. Hope that helps.

      Yes, sh can be considered an addiction for some people. Meaning the way it releases chemicals in the brain makes it similar to taking drugs.
