Out of all self-injurers, what percent "get better"? or maybe i mean, how likely am i to ever feel better?

maybe this is an impossible question to answer, sorry...

I don't think there's an exact percentage out there but I've read the following in a lot of places: by most self-injurer's late twenties to early thirties they've stopped. Not to say there are no older self-injurers or that some don't return briefly to it in times of great stress (divorce, death of a loved one, loss of employment, etc.) but a good chunk of people somehow stop and I'm pretty sure that there's a decent amount of these people who aren't in treatment or on medication.
