I have a question for all of you...
 

Does anybody not have any intention of stopping their self injury?

I'll leave it at that.

yes and no

I never intended to stop when I did; it sorta just faded away

yea...but i know i need to.

Kinda. I want to stop so bad but I can't and don't bother trying because it's too hard. I've given up fighting.

Yes. Well, i have the intention to stop at some point, just not right now.
Right now i know i still need it although at the same time i will try not to cut if i can help it, not to stop just if i dont need it that much at the time i might as well try but i dont consider any time i cut a slip up cause im not trying to stop.
i figured out that stopping cutting is not going to make me feel better inside, so currently i dont really see the point. although i hope in the future i will be able to because i will be happy inside.

sometimes. sometimes I'm like "yeah, ima do this, this and this, and i'll get better and everything will be okay" and sometimes i'm like "theres not much point, it's not gonna work, so i cba."

There was never a really conscious decision. When I first started, I'd make decisions to give it up, but I never did. Finally I reached a point about six years later where I made what was more of a decision to "give up for now". So I used the comprehensive support that was available to me at the time to break out of what had been a long and addictive cycle. Unfortunately, I haven't stopped completely and I still self harm now and then, but I'm much less impulsive with it and more in control.

Yes. I know I should try and stop but I don't want to...
I'm not ready, I need it...

Yes and i started the process of fighting the urges, and then relapsed.
Now it's harder to pick myself up and try again, and at the moment i don't think i really want to try just yet :/

In the future I am sure I'll be ready to give it up. I don't have any intention to just yet. Having said that, I haven't cut myself for two weeks so maybe I do? I don't like to think about it just in case I end up triggering myself again. So yes and no I guess- just to confuse you :)

I have the intention to eventually stop. However, I am not necessarily attempting right now.

I am aware that I have to wait until I am ready and when I actually want to stop. Typically I try to "stop" for other people. I've learned that I have to make the decision if I want to get my stubborn butt to work fully on recovery.

I don't intend to stop.. until i find a reason to stop

i want to stop. But until I realised how much my doing it hurt others around me I had no intention of doing so really... It was like I knewit was bad and I would advise others to stop and I'd never advocate it, but I just saw no reason to stop until I realised that it hurt others

I had the same thing as freedom fighter

Thanks for replying. I feel a lot better.

I have no intention of stopping and although I don't plan to stop, I haven't completely thrown away the thought of a future with self injury. But I don't consider self injury the problem, but more like my solution to the real problems.

I know I should stop it, but at the moment I don't wanto...I am not ready; I am afraid of what will happen if I do...

I know i should stop,But im not ready yet.. When i have worked through the problems that lead me to self harm then i wont need to use self harm hopefully.

i know i should stop and that maybe i could for awhile but i dont want to its my only outlet of any sort of emotion good,bad or indifferent. i need it and i cant stop i wont stop besides i have no reason to stop anymore......

I want to stop but don't feel like I have control of it.
