No.
That might sound really stupid, but a lot of good things have come from doing so. Without SIing, I probably just would have exploded...or used drugs or some other destructive alternative. And a part of me still thinks that I deserved all that pain.
I found RYL, met a HUGE load of fantastic people. RYL not only introduced me to new people, but I've learnt a lot of things about myself, others, mental illness...just, craploads the past 3 years. And I've grown as RYL has.
I like my scars. They tell a story. I have days where I get awkward about them, a fear of people questioning them, and yeah I have my days where I regret them or regret wearing a t-shirt because someone might question the scars... But **** happens.
Over all...a lot of good has come from self-harming.
