exactly quit for you. Quit because you want to and feel its a need. Because honestly in the end, its only going to matter to you. This is your body, this is your strength this you, we are talking about, no one else matters, you should only do things for you.

That being said and done with, with the thoughts, try talking about it . . . but be weary if thoughts and feelings intensify then stop. Try journiling it? Trying hanging out with friends, something to keep you preocupied so you wont cut.
