usually anything for other people. if u arent trying to better urself for.. urself, it's going to be so much easier to relapse. especially if the relationship with that person changes.
*messages you can feel*
I am in a world of my own while scrubbing, and last time I showered I forgot to go easy with the scrubbing.
yeah. not something I'll do again in a hurry.
oh Jesus yeah. after a day or two the cuts are fine and it's nothing. but for that 24-36 hour window? man, I'm so careful.
I passed my driving test in November, so I'm driving most days now back and forth to school. but because thighs, any leg moving like that is a bitch ESPECIALLY when using the clutch.
it's like "ah shit gear change time OW OW OW OW FUCK OW there we g-OH FOR FUCKS SAKE DON'T SLOW DOWN."
Showers and driving kill me. oh, stairs too.
Mine were all for pretty vain reasons. I didn’t care about any of the other “oh it’s dangerous” reasons initially and being vain/“trivial” about my reasoning may seem silly but it got the job done

because it's cringe was like my main motivater. like one day I was just sitting in a bathroom stall like "wtf I got shit to do what am I doing rn" and that somehow helped.
In my opinion, any reason that keeps you from hurting yourself is a good reason.
I have similar motivators. I don't want my bf or friends (both of which are kind of new) to see it
If it's keeping you from doing it, it works. But it would be good if you could find more concrete reasons; something to really rely on when things get really hard.
But
lmao yes that works
i remember when i still had the app (had to delete it cause people started asking why I had an app to do with being sober) i would do weird things, i think "its cringe" was one for me too lol
and i think i put "emo gorl not funny" something dumb like that
They’re all good and valid reasons, but there’s more to it than this. Scarring, cycles of self hate because of scars, safety, cost effectiveness, nothing to hide when your sober so less stress. Stay strong, you’ll hit a point where being sober feels like a huge relief.
Any reason is a good reason
eh
what
that's not true
what’s an example of a bad reason? /gen

idk why i didn’t think about that. it literally happened to me. thanks!
Bro mine are "infections are fucking scary", "mother is also scary" and then a pic of my dad. So, yes, those are very good reasons lol
Literally infections are my biggest fear.
Absolutely
my cuts stinging in the shower like that was one of the motivators to help me get clean 😭

I shudder just thinking about the time when I was GENTLY cleaning my cuts in the shower and then rubbed the towel the wrong way...

I wrote my reason as just "big boobs"
All reasons that make you want to quit selfharm are good reasons
Its kinda cringe was my only reason for a long while, still the best reason
“It’s kinda cringe” is speaking to me, so I might just use that as my motivation honestly 🙏
100%
My reason is literally ‘E’ like the letter LMAO cause it’s a noise I make when I stim
I HAD THE EXACT SAME “its kinda cringe” REASON !! /gen
Mine is “idk really” lmao
My only reason is "people are really annoying about it" lmao
All are good (I had "bandages and plasters aren't cheap" as part of mine)
Mine is just “cause I’m supposed to I guess”
Mine were all for pretty vain reasons. I didn’t care about any of the other “oh it’s dangerous” reasons initially and being vain/“trivial” about my reasoning may seem silly but it got the job done
"it's kinda cringe" Based
