People say I should stop and I ask, "why?"

They have the same list of reasons every time. Most of the reasons are just so unlikely to happen that I'd have to be trying to cause some real damage. If it makes me feel better then why not do it?
I specifically worked hard to find a post like this. I've just recently started back SI and I don't see the point in stopping if its not causing problems in daily living. It's considered a "negative coping mechanism" but i'm starting to think maybe its just a bad habit - like stress eating, taking out anger and lashing out at unexpected family/friends, drinking. If you're not doing it to kill yourself, i'm with you, why not?
