The trouble with this is, that it has a tendency to start out small. And then slowly escalates over time. A "little bit" becomes a bit more and without realising, you can end up at a point of causing serious harm to yourself- and often not being able to recognise where you're at with that level of danger, or dismissing it.McCray wrote:It can't kill me if I do it in moderation.

McCray wrote:I came from a difficult past. I started self harming when I was 8 years old, the trigger point was being molested. I showed signs of mental illness before that. Jump 10 years later and though I have many problems i do well for myself. I work, I go to both day school and real estate school, I have plans to go to get another degree next year. People who look at me are very impressed with who I have become despite the challenges I have faced..so on to my past. Last year I was anorexic and had to spend some time in the hospital. I didn't cut though. I only just 3 weeks ago relapsed after being clean for 2 years. I now do this regularly to calm myself down, or if I am having a conflict with my best friend for example. I don't know why, it really really helps me. So my question is..can this be practical looking forward? It can't kill me if I do it in moderation. So why do people make a big deal out of it?
