in away it is bad because your damaging your body every day but if it stops you from doing worse then i guess in away its better.
i used to cut everyday some days i would cut at four or five different stages through the day and it scared the hell out of me because i didnt know why and i couldnt talk to anyone because i was scared i would be sectioned. if you ever need someone to talk to im here.
Not long after starting cutting I began to start doing it daily and then it became twice daily and was struggling to keep it at that. I've now got out of that but know if I'm not careful I will slip back into it. It's bad in the way that you have todo it that often but I suppose doing a small amount of damage every day would be better than a large about less often if thats what you feel it would be.
Hmm i use to cut everyday as well, i kinda stopped after i got some help...but now i kinda went back to doing it everyday, my family dosent have an idea but oh well. i dont think its bad or anything if it helps then it helps! its better then other things i think. i hope i help a little take care!
i went through that at one stage but then realised that seeing what i had done earlier that day just made me want to cut more so i tried to stop it everyday. try and distract yourself as much as you can
because it will just be hurting you more and making oyu want to do it more evry time you do it
sorry for the rubbish advice pm if neccessary

I go through stages - sometimes I cut daily, sometimes I don't cut for a couple of days.
You're definitely not alone with cutting daily, but, like others have said, it's not really a good thing to be doing. Try and keep yourself distracted, talk to people about how you're feeling, try to indentify any triggers, and things like that.
Look after yourself, x
I used to cut every day, often very many times. It's never a good thing to do, and I know I was feeling terrible while I was doing it, but you're definitely not the only one who needs to do it that often.
I find if i dont cut three or four times a day for a few days when i finally do, it's alot lot worse... its as if it builds up if i dont discharge it... whatever "it" is...
I use to cut everyday several times a day. I think it is bad. No, not bad but a sign that you are in a lot of pain and desperatly need help, love, and support. *hugs*

i used to cut daily...you're not the only one. i don't think its a good thing to be cutting daily but like other people have said it is better to do it daily than seriously damage your body in one go.
feel free to pm me
take care and hope things get better
I cut daily, sometimes several times in a day. It's not a good place to be in.......it gets harder and harder to keep pretending that it's all alright.
Mind you, in truth, any SI at all can't be that great....

i've cut daily before mind you that was when i was back in seconday school so it was 2-3 years ago now. i used to cut then later on in the day i'd go back and cut over the smae cuts i did earlier. but i was really low then. anyway...
answering your thread its perfectly alright to cut every day or when you feel you need to. well its not cause self harm isn't very nice to be honest but ya know wot i mean. i'm not promoting self harm but ive always fallen back to self harm even after 5 years of councilling and tips n tricks like ice cubes and elastic bands etc.

There have been times (at least a year ago) where I cut myself about 3 times daily.
It's probably better gouging into yourself every few days but it builds your pain tolerance so you might end up doing more damage eventually...
"Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid." "Yeah."
