but the longer you wait to quit the harder it will be. i've been self harming for 5 years and i still can't quit. it seems like it's ok at first but it becomes everything to you and it makes things so much worse. it feels like it helps the pain, but after a while you start getting scars as the SI gets worse and then people notice. I can't wear a bathing suit without people seeing my scars now. I just have to accept that they might judge me. So while I've gotten through it, it would've been better not to start in the first place. It makes you feel so alone in the end as there's so many people who don't get SI. Is there anyone you could talk to in real life about it?
