will I self-harm forever?

No you won't. With the right help you will be able do stop. It may take some time but it could work .

No. You can stop. It is hard and an uphill battle. Self-harming is an addiction and is incredibly hard to quit, but you can do this. And I believe in you

Hi mate. Depression is something that can truly sit with you for a while. If you are depressed and are self harming, I would say follow the simple steps to preventing depression. In short, spend as much time as possible doing your hobbies, as much as possible, every day. This will provide an escape for you. Secondly, spend as much time with your friends as possible, and as little time alone as possible. Time alone is time to think, and that is usually not good. So keep yourself busy with friends, and good people. This will pass. Things ALWAYS get better.

Hopefully not. This depends on you. It's difficult; self-harming can turn into an addiction. But there are definite examples of ex-self-harmers who have recovered and are now clean. It's a process, but it can happen, and it's very likely that you will recover too. :) By talking to people, getting help you need, and working through the deeper issues, you can progressively get better.

No, you will not. Not if you get the help you need. Not if you strive towards recovery with all the strength that you've got. Recovery might not be never feeling urges again, maybe you'll still have struggling thoughts sometimes, but you will not self harm forever. All you have to do... is stop. And that's... very difficult. But so worth it.

No. I used to be one for 3-4 years and now I'm 3 years clean. You just need to find the strength to not let it go on forever.

No. You can beat this. It's difficult to stop, especially if you relapse, and it might feel like forever, but you can do it. Try to find a better stress outlet maybe journaling or running, or writing down every day that you don't self-harm.

While that answer is truly up to you, I would say it's a no. Self-harm is something that usually happens in times of extreme pain and stress, which you will not constantly have to live in. Things do get better, however cliche that sounds.

You will not self harm forever as long as you have the will power. It may seem like forever but I know that you are strong enough to quit. It is a never ending battle, but just like me you can be strong and begin that very long battle one baby step at a time.

No you won't always self harm, eventually you could learn coping skills that could help you get though those thought/feelings/urges

Self-harm is not something that you will do forever. The first step to stopping self-harming is recognising that you want to stop. Motivation was a big factor for me stopping. I was also helped by therapy and group support. Finding other activities that release emotions also helps a lot, and meditation helped me too. The most helpful thing in stopping for me was talking to my therapist and my closest friend, and promising both of them that I would stop.

Hi. That is a very good question. I am sorry to hear that you are living through self-harming and I understand that when people self-harm it is an act of feeling the need to be in control of whatever is happening in life. Is there something in your life that you are not happy about? Would you like to talk to someone about it and find a better way of dealing with things that make you unhappy? Self-harm does not have to last forever, and things that make us want to hurt ourselves can be adjusted and even removed.
