Why do people say that si is bad??? My counselor said that if i si one more time that she is going to send me to someone else but how can she say that??? she doesnt kn0ow what it is like to si… she doesnt know how hard it is to stop… she doesnt know how good it feel!!!! Why is it so bad to si if it make me feel soo much better?!?! i dont understand, i meant people are aloud to smoke and stuff when they are stressed and felling mad or upset why cant i do this??? just thinking about giving it up scares me… it hurts inside when i dont do it… what am i supposed to do?!?!?!
If it works so well, why do you have to keep injuring to keep trying to feel better?
I often tell people that if self injury worked on a permanent basis, S.A.F.E. Alternatives would be teaching people TO self injure instead of helping them stop. The bottom line is it just doesn’t help in any lasting way. It doesn’t solve one single problem and just grows worse over time.
However, that’s something only you can realize. Nobody can force you to stop self injuring – they can only try to help you get through whatever feelings cause you to self injure in the first place. I hope you can someday choose to accept some help and support – we all need it now and then.
Best wishes to you, Pam
