I jsut dont see the point in stopping.
other than the fact that i need to before i can see a doctor about what appears to be bronchitis, there really isnt any reason that i can see.
I need this.
I've wanted this for so long.
and i finally gave up.
so who would i be, to give up everything ive finally fallen far enough to feel again, like it means nothing?
Ive needed this for a long time, and now its here again, i dont want to stop.
It feels like noone woudl really care if they found out about my cutting, anyways.
so why stop?
i dont know.
I need reasons. I need to find my own, i guess.
but what are everyone elses?
Needing something else to think about other than cutting right now... so lets talk.
My current reasons are as follows:
- I can't get away with starting again. My friends would catch me, and they'd make me tell my parents, and it'd be a big stressful mess that I don't want to deal with during exam week.
- If I cut it would itch while it healed, and itching things sucks.
I hope you find your reasons, love. If you ever want to talk drop me a message!
i tried to stop a few times for my friends. it didnt work and it never will, not in the long run. you can try to stop for a million different reasons but you'l never be able to stop for good until you try to stop for you. stopping for another person or something wont work. you have to stop because you want to do it for you and you realise that SI wont help you.
*hugs* i really hope you can stop.
I'm stopping because of my one friend. My best friend. And the one that I love..
He says that he still looks to me for strength so that he can quit himself, so I can't let him down.
And I'm also stopping for a few other friends. Because I told them that I was going to stop, that I promised ^him^ and so they are trusting that I can keep that promise. They are believing in me when I thought no one would.
My three closest friends are my reason for stopping.
And also, as 'All I'm Living For' said, you have to stop for you. I know I am stopping for myself as well. But they are what made me realize that I really have to stop.
I miss the lips that made me fly
But I guess I can live without you but without you ill be miserable at best
Youre all that I hope to find in every single way and everything I could give Is everything you couldn't take

i'm stopping, well, i am actually forced to stop. My parents found out and really there is no way I can hide it anymore. my friends are also all over that i should stop cutting. I can't really see why i should stop myself but I suppose i should. But so far it isn't going that great.
like you I once felt that no one would care if I was cutting. but the truth is they do. Even common strangers. Trust me, they ask loads of questions and even though they are annoying some of them really do have advice.
My reason for stopping is that I want to be in control of my life and not let my emotions control me. I also made the promise to my boyfriend that I would try to quit, and I hate breaking promises. I also like being able to wear short sleeves without having to cover up my arms.
I'm so sick and tired of the taste of tears the sting of pain the smell of fear the sounds of crying

I'm trying to stop because of my friends... it doesn't have anything to do with wanting to. My friends want me too, and it makes it even harder to stop when you don't really want to... I think that's my problem
I'm stopping because with me, everything gets worse. My SI has gotten worse since I started. I have a really addictive personality and get really into stuff. Two people know about my SI. I had to tell both of them that things had gotten worse. I decided I never wanted to have to tell them things got worse AGAIN. I have been haveing ODing and Suicidal thoughts recently, but it's under control...
That's why I'm stopping.

I want to do it
I don't want to spoil 4 months. There's no point in having done it otherwise.
I don't want to mess up my body any more than it already is.
If I cut I probably won't be able to have the plastic surgery on my wrist that I've been referred for.
I want to be a mental health nurse/work with people with mental health problems and I can't self-harm if I want to do that.
I don't want to upset or disappoint my family or friends.
The feeling when I get to a benchmark is brilliant.
I've self-harmed for long enough and want to live without it.
Sometimes the way in life seems cloudy...But remember, after the storm comes clear skies
Difficult question. It all started when my boyfriend made me promise I wouldn't do it again. So, at the beginning I gave SH up for my boyfriend. But now, 4 and a half years later, after too many slip ups, lies, hurting him and myself... I've finally come to realize that I should do it for MYSELF. And for HIM. And for our FUTURE. Because there is no future for me without him. I can give up SH, but I cannot give up him. SH is good for me, but not for US. SH only brings me trouble, more and more lies, knowing that my bf wouldn't be able to take it if I told him I did it again. I don't want to lie to him. I love HIM, not SH.
Im being forced to stop by my parents. I hated their reaction whenever they found out Ive done it again. If I start again (or if they find out whenever I have a small slip up) I will more than likely be sectioned. Its horrible because I cant think of another reason to quit. Im sorry my reply isnt very positive!
I don't want my family to find out.
The scars.
I don't want SI to control me.
The scars
I want to control SI.
And I want to wear whatever I want when I want!
I quit because I realized that stopping for my friends weren't helping. I needed to stop for me! and I couldn't stop until I found that out. I was tired of letting my friends down and having them "lecture" me about it. I was tired of not having control, because when I cut I wasn't in control "IT" was.
I also had to stop because I knew that my aunt and uncle wouldn't let me.
But it's been a year and 7 months and I'm actually happy!
My reasons
- I never wanted to see the pain in my ex-boyfriends eyes that I saw when I told him. He's still an amazing friend.
- I got sick of the scars.
