i said other as sometimes i wish that i hadn't and that the scars would go away. but in other way i don't regret it as it shows what i have been through
if i didnt start to self harm i wouldnt of met my girlfriend, she means the world to me and if i didnt have her i would be well who knows where i would be right now, but i dont self harm anymore because of her XXX
well no, because if i hadnt of started i wouldnt be the person i am now. i wouldnt know that i had the ability to overcome or the ability to help others. tbh SI has helped me realise who i am and who i can be. not that SI is who i am but im sure i would be a different person if i had never SI'ed and im okay with who i am now.
I voted yes. Saying I don't regret it would be a lie. But I also know that at that time, and with the coping skills I had (or rather, didn't have), I wouldn't be alive today without it. I regret still doing it, and I regret not getting help while it could still have done something for me.
I dont really believe in regrets as I think things happen for a reason but its almost daily that I think about what it would be like if I never started. So I guess that counts.
Nope, i dont really feel anythign one way or the other, it just happened. I've stopped right now but i plan to start against once the summers over so i guess i must want to do it...
Sometimes I hate it SO MUCH..
I hate that I didn't find any other coping mechamnism. And I hate the mental pain it brings me. I hate planning how, where and when to do it. I hate how it keeps my life in it's string
But I love it too. It have gave me so much. I've been abl to cope with it - I'm still here alive. I love the physical pain. I love the blood, wounds and I love the scars too. I just hate hiding them.
Well.. I kinda regret and not regret it.. I can't see things wether it have gave me more than ruined me..
I said other, mainly because I don't think I would have managed to survive without it, would probably not managed to find one of my best friends. But on the other hand I have a lot of scars, and a lot of my life has been wasted cutting, thinking about cutting, oding, drinking, collapsing, and in therapy...I just don't know who I would be without it. But in some ways maybe I wouldn't be here without it, but in others maybe it has made things worse in the long run....I really don't know.
Sometimes I love the fact that I can say to myself, 'I self harm' other times I just regret what I have done....
I said other...mainly because of the scars. But sometimes I just feel really guilty about it, because I told someone very important to me that I'd try to stop. Lets just say that isn't getting very far. But I can't really say I regret it. It makes me happy...in a strange kind of odd way.
I don't really remember ever starting, like actually cutting yes but hitting and all no.
I'd like it if I'd never started, but I'd need to have another way to cope. I wouldn't want to be in the same place without SI and not having another way to get by.
Sometimes, you have to try more than once.
Alice came to a fork in the road
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "It doesn't matter."
No i don't regret it at all. Sometimes i wish i had punched a hole in the wall, or broken something instead of s-injuring....but i realise now its better that i s-injure, than take it out on other people ((what MOST males would and do, do)). I am a male, and instead of taking my rage out against other people, i take it out on myself. So i kinda think s-injury is the lesser of two evils. Plus im not the type to attack other people...that's not me. I don't regret it, cos now i understand that at certain times, i NEED s-injury to cope. This is a NEED, i might not want to do it, but i need to do it, to calm down, to focus only on the wound, to feel better.
I don't regret it. A few years ago, i probably would have said i regret it, but now i don't, as i understand its just something i need from time to time....
Good bye to everyone on RYL, for various reasons im leaving this site and i will never return. This may make some of you happy, and others sad. Im not leaving because of the members... Good bye and have a nice life
in said no,
because i dont really think i do, i mean, if id never started cutting, i probably would have given in by now, its my way of getting by, of coping, and i know its not the right way, but its the only way i really know/knew how. if i didnt have it..maybe id have tried to kill myself long ago, not that i havent tried anyway, but you get what i mean, plus i have met some truly awesome and inspiring people through si and ryl, and ill never regret starting cutting, cos i would have never met them,
and maybe i am or will be a stronger person because of all this,
I scream for the sunlight, or a car to take me anywhere, just get me past this Dead and Eternal snow.
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere, just take me there, and lie to me and tell me it’s gonna be Alright.

said no, had been wanting to do it ages before i did, and have recently realised ive always done it from a really young age. If i didnt cut when i felt bad i would have burst, and gone completely off the rails, probably been more of a mess than i am now.
