I found therapy the best way to deal with self harm, I don't know why you are seeing a therapist but maybe you could relate the self harm to that reason so you can talk about it?
I've also had the same thought that I'm too old to still be doing this, but many people still harm into their 40's, I find once I distance myself from cutting and see it for what it really is, it's easier for me to let go of it. I made a decision the other day, that I'm done with it and that I need to grow up about my situation. Not for everyone tough love but so far I'm a week free from cutting so I guess I'm doing something right.

Yeah a lot of people don't care or understand. But you're not too old. People of all ages do it. Just because it starts young doesn't mean it just goes away.

Thanks for the replies.. I go to therapy for anxiety. I go through phases where I think I'm never going to cut again but then I go right back to wanted to shred my skin constantly. It's frustrating. I don't want to do it...but mostly I feel like I don't want to do it because I don't want the scars

i understand how you feel i feel similar when i cut i feel like nobody cares including my therapist because she just ignores that i do it because she thinks thats better. it actually hurts my feelings. i hope you feel better hugs

I find my friends dont care or understand. And i just want to say that self harm has been 'advertised' as only a teen thing but its really not just limited to that age group. It doesnt have a label, it can affect anyone.
My advice is do what i couldnt do - tell your therapist about this. Im sure they'll be very understanding and supportive. Btw im always here if you want to talk :-)

I feel the same way sometimes :/

I think my therapist would love it if I told her stuff like that. Instead we spend our time clashing over why this treatment and that for anxiety won't work.

Could you switch therapist? It seems like you need to see someone who gets it.

You're far from too old. Self harm doesn't have an age range
