Why does it matter if I harm?

There are the obvious reasons, infections, scaring, ect.

But really the matter isnt that you harm yourself, its why you harm yourself that matters

it matters if you dont learn apropriate coping mechanisms because then you will have a harder time in lif. It matters if your unhappy or depressed, or ashamed....it matters thatif you harm, because youyou matter!

Stay safe and be kind to yourself!

Yeah I guess it's not so much a physical risk but an emotional one. I mean, you're not learning to deal with your problems in a safe way.

I'm asking myself that question, too, right now. I mean, it is me who feels the physical pain caused by self-harm and I don't believe anyone if he/she tells me that it hurts them. It's just stupid.
