What made you stop self harming!?
How long have you gone without self harming!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I began to stop when my parents found out because a friend told them!. It wasn't a 'cold turkey' stop more like a gradual stopping, doing it less and less!. Basically it was because I couldn't stand being a disapointment to them, and that pain was worse than the pain that made me cut!.

I went about two and a half years without self harming again!. The thing that keeps me from doing it is knowing that there are other people who care more about me than I think, which was shown when my cutting was prominent!. Plus now I'm a lot less stressed so that urge isn't there as often

** if you do cut and want to stop / are in the process of stopping, know that the urge to cut isn't going to just go away!. It's going to take a long time before that feeling dissapears!. For me it's still there, it's all about self control when that happens and finding a new outlet!. Try calling a teen hotline, talking to your guidance councilor, or writing in a journal!. All those can help you work through whatever's going on, if anything!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I stopped self harming when everyone I knew would tease me and call me emo!. I had 50 cuts down my arm!.

I never cut my arms again!.

I cut my neck about 10 times!.!.nobody noticed because I wore my hair down!.

I stopped self harming because if no one loves me, I love me!. Hurting myself won't solve anyone's problems, it just gives me more of hiding the cuts, the scars, of people avoiding me and being scared of me because I don't fear the pain!.

And when I find someone I really like, I want to talk to them freely without being ashamed of anything, I don't need anything to hide!.

I haven't cut for a few weeks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I just think I stopped when i felt happier, and once you do that you become clean of the impulse to do it so its not a first thought anymore!.

I went about 2-3 years without doing it, had a brief relapse and now dont do it as a reflex anymore!.

I did have the odd moment where the urge came back but only the odd time!.

Hope this helps Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to cut and then became horrified by what I did to myself and the
scars!. I haven't cut for maybe two years and the scars have faded!. I
used to think cutting would take away emotional pain but overall it did not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
