No, I don't. If I didn't have SI to cope, I might have committed suicide or something a long time ago. I have never been suicidal and never will be. I don't view SI as a very bad thing; I do not understand how people can say they have a bad habit and be AWARE they have it, yet they are unable to stop it.

I've tried to stop before, and have successfully stopped for long periods of time. Well, not too successfully.

Ex: When I started, I just dug my pointy nails as far into my forehead as possible. I stopped for two years. Then, at age 13, I started using clippers on pimples and bug bites. I stopped for several months before starting back up again two months ago.
