Can you stop self harm without addressing the underlying issues ?

You, Yourself are the only person who can truly make yourself quit... Being a former self harmer myself... I know that it seems like the only way that you can feel "Alive" or to feel control in your life, or even to control your anger/anxiety/pressure/stress/depression/etc but take it from me who did this for years but found a way to quit,... In order to quit, Yes you have to figure out the real reasons why you are doing this to yourself and realize that you are better then that, But it doesn't make you a bad person if you have in the past or still do, We all handle our daily stresses in our own ways but it is something that you will overcome, The sooner you address why you do it, and you realize that this isn't fair to you or the people who love you, You will begin to understand why it's bad and why you have to stop doing it. I recommend talking to your family, your friends, your significant other, Find somebody that you trust and love that won't judge and will help you stop. It took my significant other to finally get me to quit after years of doing it because he showed me how much it hurt him deeply since the last thing I wanted was to ever hurt him. If your mom is that person, your best friend, Anybody, Then you should speak with them alone and tell them how you feel so that the two of you can work this out so that you can quit.

Yes, it's in the moments of your decisions that our destiny is shaped. Tell yourself you're going to get better, seek real help from great people! But it's so dangerous to self harm. Please stop, so so so many people care about you

You can stop self harm by talking to the person about what's wrong. Be that person who they can talk to about anything.

Technically, yes. And often stopping self harming is the best first step. But it is not the only step to heal and to feel better. It should be a top priority to be addressed, but it is not the only thing to be addressed.

I don't think that self harm can be stopped without knowing the underlying issue. I didn't stop self harming until I talked it through with someone close to me.

Try talking to them. Seek help for them as well in order to correct themselves. Never stop helping.

the best thing you can do is to find whatever has you feeling so bad that you'd consider injuring yourself and try to deal with that issue at hand it should help with putting the issue of self-harm at rest:)

Yes, I can choose to distance the act of self harming from those problems in my life by choosing to be the person I was earlier, and to not modify, cut, or hurt a part of me. Realizing that making that damage changes who I am.

I believe that self harm is something that is very hard to control and could be even harder to find the issue behind it. But of course the first step in stopping is understand the problem and addressing it.

I am a former person who self harmed alot-for many reasons. I went to therapy and talked of why I self harmed and really dug into the deep reasons why. It really helped me. Do you feel there is underlying issues on why you self harm? That is the real answer you have to answer. Good luck on this
