Why is NSID (self-harm) bad? My therapist told me to research about it and maybe even ask on Reddit so here I am. For obvious reasons, I don’t want anyone, especially people close to me, to hurt themselves. But why can’t I do it to myself if I deserve it? I mostly hit my thighs and arms whenever I do it. I usually do it when I’m on a self-hate spiral. I occasionally hit my head but I’ve gotten better at controlling myself. I don’t do it for attention. I do it out of anger and hatred towards myself. I know I won’t actually commit because I try to hold on to the idea that I’m alive for some good reason. I control how much pain I exert and where I can tolerate it. I don’t actively try to hurt myself to the point that it becomes a serious/fatal injury. I also don’t hurt anyone in the process. I don’t affect anyone besides myself. It would make me sad if someone hurts themselves, but I can’t seem to apply it to myself. Feeling the hits reminds me I’m alive and that I can feel.…
