"If I had to try to explain why I began to self-harm....I would tell you... I needed to feel as though I was worth something,"

Self harm is a trait of HPD. I will admit I have done it before, and this is the exact reason why.
Not for any other reason than I needed to feel;something, anything else than how unwanted I felt.

"If I had to try to explain why I began to self-harm, it would look something like this:

I would tell you I needed to matter; I needed to feel as though I was worth something, anything. "
