I mean people bash self harm, and like tell you it’s bad (and I’m not saying it’s good!)… but maybe you should ask yourself reasons why you would do such a thing.

You can get these same endorphins from other things, such as exercising or chocolate. (& they are much safer!!)

If you have a problem trying talking to someone about it to relieve your stress.

Cutting can also be a form of ‘attention seeking’. Especially if you are wondering what others would think right after you are cutting. Try to find a better way of seelking attention, possibly by simply asking for it - say ‘I need to spend some time with you.’

You’e be surprised at how easy it can be to work things out!!

After many years I started to see things in a different way… a better way, i’m not saying that things are good now i’ve just found new ways to deal with them. I was always scared that someone would find out when I used to cut. For me, it was a way to numb the emotional pain that I was feeling. If you don’t mind me asking has something happened that has made you turn to this, and if it is attention, negative attention is (I think) worse than no attention at all. I never had anyone to turn to for help while growing up, no ones attention to get, it took awhile but i’m finally okay with everything, “Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come… The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.”- Audrey Hepburn

Don’t you fel this odd sensation come over you when you do it. It’s sort of indescribable.
I’m not condoning it but just suggesting that your sub-conscience is yearning for some sort of thrill.
one that could be replaced by doing so?
