TW- mention of self harm

I just saw someone sh and post it on their profile and idk how to feel about it, cuz on one hand they're clearly suffering and I want to help but I wish they wouldn't ask for help in this way. I used to do it too for a little while when I was going thru some stuff but I got lucky and it didn't stick around as a habit. I know there's a lot of shame that surrounds posting stuff like that and I def agree cuz its hard to look at and can really trigger people but also it really is a cry for help that I wish I could have responded to faster... I hope they're still alive.
