Why do you want to stop?

What is your motivation to stop self harming? I want to want to stop (if that makes sense), but I haven't found that reason that will make me want to fight this.

My only reason is because of the scars. If it weren't for scars, I'd probably self harm all day long.

My motivation to stop (i havnt though) is friends, and family..I don want my family to find them and I want to prove to my friends im strong enough to stop...

"I want to want to stop."

This sentence makes a lot of sense to me. You have to want to stop. When I first quit two and a half years ago, I did it because I was told that I believed I was causing someone else I knew to SI -- long story. Anyways, I started to SI again back in April after being "sober" for two years. I have said several times that I wanted to stop, but I didn't really have a want to stop. Now, as of today, I do. I got good news today, and found out that I could start counseling people earlier than I had expected. So now I want to stop, so I can help myself and help others. I hope that makes sense.
You will find a reason.

Be safe,
