Triggering (SI) - What Do I Do???

Okay I don't get why it's such a bad thing to hurt YOURSELF it's not like your going out and cutting someone else or beating someone else or burning someone else... Sure it does hurt others, it hurts thier feelings and emotions, but what someone doesn't know can't hurt them, can it? I've tried to stop so many times in the past 8 years and it never seems to get any easier even when I'm finally at a pioint in my life that I've always wanted to doesn't seem to be getting any better, more like it's getting worse... Of course that could be because deep down inside I don't want to stop, but how am i supposed to want to when I'm so afraid of lashing out at someone and doing some real damage to someone else that I love... That is one of the things that scares me more then anything else... I don't really know what to do anymore! All I know is everything seems to be too much for me and I need a way to release it all so I don't go off and hurt someone else that I love... I hate it and yet I love it, it's like something that is mine and it's something only I can control, I have the control, I control how deep, I control how much, I control how long to keep the heated metal to my skin, I'm in control of it all.. it's just mine... and if i don't stop things that are more important to me are going to be taken away... at least that is what i fear... What Do I Do???

I wanna know why its so wrong aswell. I didnt realise it was wrong until a doctor saw it by accident when i had to go to hospital and ive always done it somewhere no one else could see - ive been really careful. I wouldnt have told anyone and i know he cant and im never telling anyone ever.

Kat, darling
You've asked me that before, and I still don't have a straight answer. I wish I did. In reality, it's so wrong because you're hurting yourself and could do a lot of damage to yourself. I know that that's whitewashing it a bit, and you don't want to hear that but what if you accidentally killed yourself?
It destroys lives, and while those around you aren't physically being cut, they are mentally. Emotional damage can be worse then physical, because you can shake away the feeling that hurting yourself gives you -- your husband can't shake away how it makes him feel to know you've hurt yourself, how he imagines it to feel, etc.

If you're worried about hurting others, find out why you get so agitated. Talk to someone, find out what started this and find methods you can try so that you don't always resort to SI. It's a long road, and if one of the things holding you back from stopping is that you're worried about others, then you need to try and sort through that.

I know you don't want to stop, but please at least find ways and things that you can try to do instead, ok love? I'm worried about you and I'm worried about how you're thinking... I think that talking to someone, writing down how you're feeling when you want to and finding tactics to avoid it can help. If not, try meditation or yoga, things that will help you relax.

Ok hun? <3
