When you said about taking precautions against infection etc, its good that you are doing that but self harm really is not a good way to cope at all like everyone else has said, do you want to be going out on a first date or going to a house party and you cant wear that top you really like and want to wear because of your scars? I started harminng a while back and in all honestly if i knew how bad things would get from me self harming; A&E etc or how much i have hurt myself and my family i would have stopped before it took over. Now am restricted with what i can wear, i cant do the things i used to love to do and when i go out with lads or to met up with a lad/ date etc i get quite worried incase they see my scars and ask. Thats just from me hun.
Please self harming is not good and self harming does not take away the problem it just delays it.
