Im self harming and i want to stop. Do i belong in a mental hospital? Wat do i do?
Self-harming is very serious and I'm glad you reached out for help to stop. If this is your first time getting help, you probably won't need to be admitted to a mental hospital, but ultimately that would be decided by a mental health professional. The thing to do is reach out to someone in your life that can get you help. Would your parents get you help? If not, you can go to a teacher or counselor at your school (or email them if your virtual). Also check out this website for some things you can do on your own to start off your healing process.
