Rather difficult: It's difficult to answer this kind of question in this forum, as self harm is considered an emergency, you may not think it that way as you have done it for 18 years. One of these days you may run out of luck and actually die. There is help only if you want it, no one can stop a person wishing to die eventually. Try and find a therapist specializing in dialectical behavior therapy, can help you.
