Do you ever regrett starting SH?
 

After being very honest tonight to a lad I like.

Do you ever regret starting SH?

In my oppinion no. Its got me the best mates i can ever wish for on this site and me and my dad have got alot closer because of it.

Yes i sometimes wish i never got the scars i have or the urges but no i don't entirely regret it

I wish I'd never started. If only I'd never done it that first time I think the urges wouldn't be as hard to fight.

I wish I'd never seen my friend SH. She's the one that made me start, the one who continues to make me do it.
She's haunting me.

I wish I'd never met her.

yes i do sometimes regret it......but i dont think i would have ever met the person i met though this site if it werent for sh so in a way i dont fully regreat starting sh.

I don't know. Sometimes I do.

Everyday i think "if i hadnt done this maybe id never have started" or "if i didnt know this person maybe id be ok"
in a lot of ways i do regret it a lot, but i think ive met some amazing people because of it, and gotten closer to someone
as a whole though, i do regret i think...

I don't regret starting, but I do wish I had been more honest from the beginning and hadn't let myself get so bad.
Everything happens for a reason though, even the crappy things can lead to something great!

I did when I first started...I wished I could just pretend it had never happened...but now...I dont't know...if I could get rid of it from my pas I don't think I would however strange that sounds.

i dont regret starting but i do regret meeting my 1st boyfriend and having him break up with me in school at the age of 7 was wht started it

No but then I have self harmed for as long as I remember and your past makes your future and if i hadnt then I wouldnt have met some of the wonderful people I have

I regret it. All the time.

i agree with you miss pixie, i wouldnt have met laura aka xlollyx or liz or jenni or mark or even scott and helena

Strangely enough I don't regret starting...I may get in trouble for saying this but its got me through stuff and stopped me doing stuff that would screw other people over. Its far from a good thing but it is part of my life.

I do regret the lies its forced me to tell and the shame.

No, I don't. I was all alone before I started to SH, now I have friends who support me and help me through the bad times. I love RYL. And in a way, I am glad I started SH'ing because I found RYL in a desperate search for support about my depression and now I'm two months free.

Yes, no, maybe and all of the above. I gain and I lose from it. I wish I could have my arms back but only so I could start a fresh and cut fresh flesh. I need it, I want it, but feel it controls me, I have no control over it.

At times i do. In a way i dont. It is me, my life, my child hood and adolescence. Its made me who i am. I like the scars in a wierd way. I can tell you what they were from and why. Ive wrote my book on my skin.

BUT.

I feel like a freak. Im not normal. I see the funny looks i sometimes get. i feel self concious.

But no. I dont REGRET it. I live with it. It is me whether i like it or not

No i don't think i do because if i hadn't started when i did i think the outcome would of been a lot worse and i'm not sure if i'd be here today..i needed an instant release. I wish i'd never hurt the people i care about and i wish i hadn't got addicted but at the time i think it was weirdly the right thing for me to do and i wouldn't be who i am today without it. I guess it also showed me which friends i could always rely on. That's just how it is for me anyway
