But you are obviously not fine if you are self harming. There must be an underlying cause that you need and deserve to get help with.
I feel the same way as you exactly, my SH is not dangerous and it makes me feel better, I really dont have a strong motivation to stop. but i know i should get help because its not a healthy coping technique, especially since over time it tends to get deeper.
Emotionally, i feel bad about it, i have to hide it, i worry everyday about friends or parents finding out which adds extra strain to how i am already feeling. You may end up realising one day that you wish you knew how to cope without hurting yourself.
But although you dont see a need to stop, you do need help with your problems, because people who self harm dont tend to be happy people, and you want to be happy, getting help for your SH means you can get help with your other problems.
I really hope you go to therapy xxx
