I ask the same question, everyday! but.. really, think about it.. you and i harm ourselves.. not to bad, but we do. And lets say one of your friends was harming themselves but not to bad, would it still be okay? no, it wouldnt. at lease i dont think it would be. You got to put a lot of thought into it, ANYONE who is harming themselves is NOT OKAY, weather its bad or not. I’m not going to sit here and try to tell you all reasons not to do it, cause im sure you’ve already heard it all. but i do want you to think about it and ask yourself if someone really special to you was in the same potion as you.. would it be okay? would you let them continue to harm themselves just because there not doing it THAT bad? okayy? i hope i helped a little. and good luck to you!
I have not injured since April. Here are my reasons why you should stop..you dont have to act on them, just hear me out.
I am seventeen, and started injuring just before I turned fourteen. I used it to channel my self hate, and to avoid feeling the pain, and to hide from my problems. Self injuring has lowered my self esteem to a point where i was barely recognizable. I attempted suicide in March, and was hospitalized, and a big part of everything was that I simply had no confidence in myself because I could not stop SI. It seems initially harmless, but it slowly made me hate myself and think I was just as pathetic as people told me I was. Also, looking back at the scars is hard, once you decide to stop. I hate having to wear long sleeves to hide my habit. It’s a very addictive behavior, so its best to stop before you get too tangled up in it. I would SI everyday, and began to look forward to it, so I would recommend stoppin before that point. Please stop. I know it seems harmless, but it is. Dont do it to yourself.
You are in more danger than you think. Trust me. You’re doing damage to your own skin, as well as the mentality of others. The people who care about you and love you, it will kill them to see you hurt yourself, to see you punish yourself for things that way. I’ve witnessed this myself, with my family and friends. I’ve lost friends over it, too. It’s not good. Believe me. Do yourself a favor, as well as the people who love you…recognize it as unhealthy and get help to stop.
