people can stop self harming if they want to stop
and depending on how bad their addiction is depends on how hard it will be to stop
i nearly went a year without self harming and then something happened which triggered me and i went back to it.
take care

Thats the same way ppl think about it with me...they think you can just snap out of it...its not that easy...i did stop for about 1 year though so it is possible...dont know how i did it...

its called habitual cutting, but sweetie, you're not letting anyone down! *hugs* it IS POSSIBLE it just takes a lot of work

I stoped cutting, but i still self harm.

im feeling exactly the same n i cut 4 no reason sum times n it feels like it will never end...but im sure ppl can stop it jst takes time!...u r not letting ppl dwn n r deffinatly not a disapointment cos it is harder than ppl think 2 jst stop wen they say so!...it is so hard i know...xxxx

oi, i know exactly how that feels it has become an addiction now and that is why even when things are good you still do it i have been there and you CAN get through it!
i am not competely recovered from it every few months or so i do a few small ones but i have come so far! u can do it and it is not true when you say that you shouldnt be here or that u let everyone down and disapoint people i thought that all aswell it is our minds telling us that due to our depression.
but sweetie you will get there. i am speaking from experiance :P
whenever you need me or just want to talk please drop me a message :P
xoxoxo take care!

thanks for the replys guys your all great. glad i found this site. xx

its possible... it just takes a lot...

I've spoken to quite a few people here that seem to have stopped, how they did I have no clue, most of those tricks dont work for me. However I wonder if the desire and thinking bout it ever ends, cause its just as bad for me.

yes people can stop cutting ,, i havent cut in 10 yrs now . but like anyone with an addiction that feeling never ever leaves u ,, x

I havent self injured for 8 years. MOre than this, My life is full today of peace and joy and love. There is a road that leads to peace. There is hope for better things. It isnt easy. I dont really think we can self harming just because we want to. I couldnt. I tried and failed. I had to seek help outside myself. I got that help and I am here to help you the same way. All of you. The path I walk is narrow. It is worth the effort. My life is amazing today. Yours can be too.
