Whenever I feel sad, worried, and alone I would just go upstairs with my drawing book and other supplies. I would sit at a corner of the roof gazing the beauty of sky, thhe stars, the clouds, the nature, there I would make anything I found And I will try to find peace in it. This is how feel good after a bad mood.

Define risk factors? I'm a little confused, but I'd really like to help further!
If it's any help, I can tell you that early signs of self-harming actions usually involve:
-Sudden mood swings
-Lack of motivation
-A depletion of desire for making contact with others
-Bad appetites
-Irritable attitudes
-And an overall negative attitude.
I hope this helps! Please comment if you need any more help!! :)
