No it isn't dumb, the reasoning, it is one of the reasons I started self injuring was that sense of control it gave me.

As for what happend with your boyfriend, many people don't know how to respond to self injury, it is a diffcult thing to grasp and understand, he probably responded in a way he felt would cause you the least amount of distress on the subject.

As for quitting, we are the only ones that can make ourselves stop self injury, nobody else, and in the end we have to want to stop because we care for ourselves and want to make healthier decisions for ourselves.

Do you have a therapist you can talk to about this? Self injury is a very serious thing, and a very unhealthy coaping mechanism, it took me years and years of personal work and therapy to stop, and to learn proper healthy coaping mechanisms, the sooner you deal with it the better.

Please keep posting, I hope you are able to find the support and answers you seek here at PC.

Peace and Serenity
