Question Why is cutting bad? - May 30th 2014, 12:28 AM

I'm in therapy as of recently, so I'm not comfortable asking my therapist this yet, but this is a serious question. I've self harmed for over 6 months now, and I've always had the thought that I had to stop because it's bad. But why is it bad? I'm already getting help, I don't cut too deep, I use sterile "tools" and clean the cuts after, and I hide them so nobody can see them so I'm not scaring others. And cutting helps me. Its distracts me from my thoughts. So why is it bad? I can only see the upside and can't figure out why it's so wrong. Yes, it means that there's something wrong with me, but I'm already getting professional help. Any thoughts?
