Keep it up and you will either kill yourself or they will lock you up and then you will have no control of your life or what you do. Get help immediately. Figure out why you are doing this and stop it. You are only harming yourself and ruining your life. Get strong and motivated to find a good life without all the pain.

1. make short term goals. like I won't cut today. I will journal instead, or call a friend or something.
2. make a list of things you can do instead of cutting
3. a good reason to stop.... is for your self
4. make plans of a future. OH yea I know this is a hard one!!!! I really know that is a hard one at this time in your life.... but think about something you want to do, and go for it.
5. Put your anti-self-harm plan into action..... do something that you love.....
I didn't remember if you said cutting was your self harm actiivity, but that is what I thought it was.... if it is something else... just put the same things I said into fit what that is your self harm behavior.
Some day if it is cutting.... how are you going to explain it to your children, or grandchildren?

You don't say what is causing you pain but I am going to assume you are cutting yourself under so kind of stress. I know you think you are not hurting anyone else by doing this.
But really what are you accomplishing? Is cutting yourself solving any of your problems? Is it changing any events in your life? Cutting is a vicious cycle pain and cut pain and cut pain and cut. I think it is a control issue but it is a temporary fix and a destructive one to yourself and a lie to oneself. You are not making anything different you are only hurting yourself and you deserve better.
You need to know that you are loved. You are unique there is only one you and there will never be another you. You are one of a kind. You deserve to be happy and find joy in your life without hurting yourself.
You can achieve happiness let me make a suggestion. Start with a prayer to God tell him what is wrong tell him why you heart is broken he wants to heal you he wants to be part of your life each and every minute. He wants to take care of you. He loves you more then anyone ever will. God loved you so much he sent his only son to die just for you.
God is never to busy to listen to you he has all the time in the world for you he is open 24/7 and he never goes on vacation. Any problem you have he already knows about it he is just waiting for you to bring to him so he can hold your or hand or carry you out of it.
What have you got to lose with a prayer nothing? What have to to gain but your life back in happiness. Nobody has to know you pray but God and it can always be just you and him.
Remember you were not a accident. God knew you before you were born and he has a plan for you life and it does not include hurting yourself he never intended that for you. He is waiting to hear from you. I will be praying for your recovery God Bless

Yes, life is awesome! Instead of focusing whatever you dont like about yourslef, go learn something new. Also try to set some goals for your self - long term and shor term. Try very hard to achieve them. Also, you cannot achieve any of those goals if you loath yourself. Also, try hanging around a new group of people. Hope that helps. Dont hurt yourself :)

The reasons to stop depend on the reasons why you're doing it in the first place. What kind of self-harm? It's a complex issue - need much more information. Either post it here or you're welcome to post to my Yahoo ID.

Because it's not healthy? You didn't specify what type of self harming. Regardless, it's doing something adverse to your body. You may end up getting scars, etc. Seek psychiatric help. Don't be ashamed, but be proactive in seeking help.

The best reason in the world is you. You may not think so, but someone out there cares everytime you hurt yourself and you ARE worth keeping intact.

Get out of the house. Ask youself why you don't harm other people, instead. Maybe you are a good person?
Also, it is silly.

Because you want to stop. That's reason enough.
