Honestly, one that doesn't seem like it's super important but actually is: scarring. I used to SI. I stopped completely in June 2013. It is now November 2017 and my arm and legs still look like they were put through a meat shredder. I wouldn't say I'm ashamed of my mental illnesses, but it's really degrading to still, 4+ years later have strangers asking me what happened to my arm. I'm extraordinarily self-conscious of it. And like I said, it's been 4+ years and the scarring is still extremely visible. It apparently takes much longer than you'd ever guess to fade.

For scars I have found that using those face masks helps fade them. You know the ones that go on wet and dry shiny and a bit tacky? It's been fading my scars really well. I stupidly cut on my arm during a hospital stay when I was pretty depressed. I can't have visible scars because of work so I'm trying to get creative.

I could have lost my life if I lost too much blood
The people around me will be affected by it It doesn't solve your problems in the long term You will get scars that don't look good There are other ways to get your emotions out The feeling making you self harm will pass and you'll regret it when you cut yourself |

Because it could harm my hearing more than it already is. I'm hard of hearing. Hitting myself can, according to the internet, cause more damage. I don't want the one good ear I have to start to decline.
