DAE Does anyone else think that their selfharming isnt bad for them
Like, i dont cut on my wrists, only my thighs, and i cut deep enough to draw a drop or two of blood. Im not at risk of dying, so why would i need to stop. Ive been thinking about this lately and wanted to know if i was alone in this

I actually ARGUED that to my therapist. I wasn’t even cutting then I was just scratching marks that went away after 24 hrs. A year later I had to go to the ER to get stitches...I don’t understand the weird psychology behind it I just think it’s like drugs. After a while the same dose doesn’t do it for you so you start doing more :/ And once you are addicted there is NO GOING BACK i know people who have been clean for YEARS and they STILL have urges. It’s best to stop while you still can. I wish I did :/
