i've tried many times to stop hurting myself but i always fail there is smthing that pulles me back and after failing 2 stop i started thinking
so i have to stop?
it works with me why should i stop?
does this make me a weak aweful person that i lost my will to quit?
i've talked to many ppl whom are so strong and they fight the urgs and there are cut free for a long while
why can't i do the same!

maybe you need something to distract yourself.

perhaps ask them and see how they quit.

so you have other techniques to deal with the urges.

and maybe you need to find out why you SH in the first place...

i feel exactly the same as you fragile. i don't understand why i should stop. okay, so i get scars. but if i am okay with them, then what is the problem? the ones on my arms bother me a bit now that i am going to be working as a therapist... so i say i won't cut on my arms anymore... but i still don't wanna stop. i control how deep they are... so if i am okay with it, it works for me, and it doesn't get out of control, then why stop? the only reason i can think of is because it's 'bad.' yes, by the books it is 'bad.' we are not supposed to do it. unfortunately i don't care what is said, it isn't going to make me stop. i am not even at the point where i wish i could. i don't know, i am just doing what gives me a release. my therapist understands this. he knows that i will not stop until i am ready... and right now i'm not ready. he says that he is concerned, but understands why i don't want to stop.

i can agree with you guys, particulary.
why go by the book?! %#@&#! the book and our siciety! they don`t matter that much! we should be OURSELVRES.
and do what we want and what we believe in.

on the other hand seems like you all want to stop. and not JUST because of what our siciety is used to think of it, just becasue it`s not a solution! we are not really happy when we feel we have to we do it.
deep inside, where our real self hides, we don`t want to live that way. that`s what i believe.

Dear PINKSOIL, I think Meth users & Heroin users say exactly the same thing! "I don't think I wanna stop"! "I am okay with it, it works for me and as long as it doesn't get out of control, then why (should I) stop? Because by the books it's "bad"?" I battle cutting every single day but looking at the situation through the eyes of a drug addict, a different perspective (as above) reveals this behavior is dangerous, not a solution and I need to stop.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
