Cutting is not a life choice, it is a coping strategy. People are never going to be ok watching someone else self injure, unless they have some mental problems themselves. People who take benzos in any sign of distress are looked down on too, and it is very much discouraged, although does happen more than it should.

When you self injure you do have "some sort of disease" a mental one. This is why people cant accept it - it is not normal, mainstream, acceptable or healthy behaviour.

I wont lecture you on the benefits of stopping, its a sure fire way for you to dismiss everything I say, but if I could stop, anyone can. I was chronic but now my life is much happier.
