An interesting post @steemit-fun.

One slight thing to note is that suicide is not even an escape. One does not consider jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire to be an escape. :c)

You make some excellent points - and I very much agree that self-harm is not helping anything - and that it is important to love oneself regardless of whether one thinks one is perfect or not.

Also agree that it is important to take action towards the problems that make us unhappy or even miserable. Less sold on (prescription) drugs being the answer but an open mind keeps all roads open.

Incidentally I'd also treated this topic a few weeks ago, occasionally revisiting certain tags as I do believe that it needs to be delivered to those in the greater need of it. Your points on self-harm compliment it well. Thanks.
