I genuinely don’t have any reasons for stopping my SH habits but my mom has told me she can’t do this anymore regarding my SH and that she’s considered sending me to inpatient. Does anyone have any good reasons for stopping?

      Because youre hurting yourself and the people you love. I know how hard it can be to stop, especially when you dont see any better options. Im almost 2 years clean now from my really bad relapse. Try experimenting with different coping methods when you have the urge to do it. I know drawing on my skin with markers and snapping a rubberband against my skin always helped when i was first trying to quit

      Because it may take away pain but it can also cause serious infection and amputation of infection gets bad. I understand the feeling of wanting to feel something/distract from feeling. But for me it wasn't worth being mutilated and more physically disabled than I already am. More than that you're worth stopping. It's an addiction, and understanding that it isn't just hurting you, it's hurting those you're close to as well. I know it isn't something any of us want, but you may want to consider a voluntary psych hold, just to get the ball rolling. That and it'd be on your own terms. There are so many reasons to stop and not too many to continue. I can't say stress will get better, but I can promise you'll learn to cope in healthier ways. I hope you can quit and get help soon. ~Chrys (1 month clean)

      Bc you are worth so much more than you think. I stopped bc It kept hurting me and hurting the people I love I stopped because I was getting nowhere with it it was just leaving more scars on my body that I don't need so I would stop if I were you because it just hurts people around you it hurts you physically and mentally whether you know it's mentally or not but that's that's why I stopped just if you do it just be careful with it I don't want to lose someone or anyone that cuz I've already lost lost someone to it so yeah
