I'm with you on this. Is it really that bad?

I just started again after a year of not cutting. It's helping me be more confident almost, because I don't care anymore what others think. Obviously, I'm careful and only cut places not many people see. Because they judge so much. I don't understand why. My friend cut for two years without being depressed or anything. She just... Did.

Yes it's "bad" because it damages your body, but is it really that bad if it helps your mind?

I'm sick of people thinking I'm bad or mentally unstable (ok yes I am to some extent but still) just because of the scars. It part of who I am and you can't change that. I don't want to change for anyone anymore.
