Why stop self harming?

Self harm can be addicting and sometimes even fatal. Your body is a temple and you should treat it with care and love. There are other ways to relieve pain you are feeling. I have heard of someone who draws on them self instead of cutting and they found it to be very therapeutic and healing. Self harm leads to a darker path and you can always call for help in a different manner.

Self harm, while it may be beneficial to you in someway at the time, it ruined me now. I cut my stomach for years and now have visible scars that anyone can see aren't stretch marks. I get weird looks but I'm strong in the sense I overcame it. That was a battle that I had to overcome but the permanent marks weren't worth it.

Its a safety precaution, mostly, if you do something wrong, cut to deep, overdose way to much, burn a significant artery, or starve your self to to death.

Self harming may seem like the answer but in all cases it's not. If you seek the advice and the professional help you'll feel alot better things do get better. Youll feel more confident you'll fell happier

You should stop self harming because it's nothing but a distraction from your real pain. Cutting yourself isn't gonna take away what your really feeling. The best way is to deal with it so your a stronger person. You should never resolve to cutting cause it only hurts you more.

I think you should stop self-harming because life is beautiful. Try to focus on the positive things in your life and stop worrying about the negatives. Life is short, don't let it pass you by.

My counsellor told me to think about summer, and how scarring would look in a swim suit, but she was wrong. It will give you something to feel proud of, the fact that you have all the extra free time to sleep or get a new hobby and it will take away some of the stress of hiding it from those around you.

Self harming is not the answer. You can find better alternative such as going to see help. You don't want to be harming yourself for the rest of your life .

Self harming is typically used as a coping mechanism when one is having a hard time dealing with things. This is understandable, and I understand that people find relief in doing so, but it would also be fair to say that self harming may not always be the best way of coping, due to the fact that it leaves scars, it causes pains, it can be extremely dangerous, it can give you infections and it may make you feel worse. Self harming can be really hard to deal with, some people find it easier to self harm than it is to talk to someone about what they are going through. Everyone is different, and everyone has different ways of coping with things that they are going through. I do however believe that you can find better ways of coping with self harm and there are a variety of things online about it, talking to someone about it as much as it can be scary, it can really help you feel a little better. Counselling may also be good, group therapies and much more out there that you can use will surely make you feel better.

Because you're worth it and why take the time to express with bloody characters when you can be a little more free abandoning your fears of quitting.
