Hello, everyone. I am struggling with self-harm that has escalated, and I am trying very hard to stop. It has been five days, now. It is more painful not to cut than it is to cut. I am thinking of reasons not to cut.
Today's Reason: I didn't cut today, because... He knows me better than anyone else, and - if he thinks I can be strong - I can. And I will. What is the reason you did not/will not cut today?

this thread could really take off if people keep replying to it and giving reasons every day
the reason i didn't cut today was because it's windy/ rainy weather, and it helps with my mood |

I have enough scars for now and I don't want to mess up t-shirts anymore.

I'm so glad that I have gotten so many replies! It's been five days for me.
I didn't cut today because... When I started cutting, I believed that I didn't matter, so - therefore - nothing I did to myself mattered. Now, I have someone who cares. So, I matter. What I do to myself matters. So, I didn't cut today. Let's keep this going, guys! I hope this helps a lot of people.  I'm at about a two today (Zero being the most depressed..). Yesterday, I was a three. I've been in bed for two days, pretty much just lying around and crying. But I'm not cutting. Stay strong, everyone!

I didn't cut today because I only cut when either suicidal or as punishment to myself, and nothing I did today triggered either of those responses.

I didn't cut because I am tired of getting blood on the sheets and constantly trying to hide it.

I plan to not cut today because his love for me is infinite and I need to remember that I'm not going to lose that simply by having a mental illness.
I'll update at the end of the day with whether I've succeeded or not.

I did not cut yesterday.
I plan to not cut today because cutting is not conducive to recovery, no matter how it may feel in the moment.

Didn't cut yesterday or so far today because I'm out of energy and in physical pain...it's distracting me from the emotional pain.
