Ok so this is probably a weird question. For about 4 years ive been cutting, not out of control or anything just a comfort thing for me. This isnt a question about how to stop or w/e so please dont tell me anything like that. Well when i first started and for about 2 years after, I felt really bad about it and felt like it was stupid and wrong and just all around bad. But lately i find myself seeing it as just a normal part of life, it doesnt phase me anymore. I have no real desire left in me to stop because i dont personally see it as a problem. what i want to know is: is the fact that i no longer see it as a problem, a problem itself? or since it just doesnt bother me, should it not matter? obviously im seeing things irrationally, but in anyone elses opinion, is this bad?

Of course we all know that cutting isnt a good thing because we've been taught that. We are taught that there are other and better ways to deal with things like stress or anger or emotional pain. But better for who?? Obviously your "harming yourself", but everyone has gotten a cut or scrape or something countless times in their lives. The only difference if that you are doing it to yourself. In my opinion, if your okay with it, then thats you and your decision. Now if it was out of control and you couldnt stop and it was getting worse and worse and you were doing it more and more often, then maybe it could be a problem. I say just be careful and cautious. You are the only person that knows yourself. If you start to see its gettin out of control and your doing it more and cutting deeper, then try to talk to somebody or try different, less harmful ways to find comfort.




P.S. Im not saying that cutting is okay and people should do it. Im just not the type of person who is going to sit here and be like, "Cutting is very bad for you, you need to get help right away." People need to make their own decisions and do what is best for them. I hope I helped.
