I used to self harm a lot and I recently stopped. Now I keep having thoughts telling me that the reason I self harmed was for attention even though I know it wasn’t. Every time I see someone talk about their self harm experience I always feel triggered to do it again and then my thoughts tell me I’m just looking for an excuse to do it. Every time someone comes even remotely close to finding out about my scars I freak out. I don’t know what these thoughts mean but it just makes me feel like I’m looking for attention when I’m not.

I'm new here, and I have no answers. I don't believe people do it for attention at all. It's always an extremely private practice for me. If I'm hurting myself, I can't be killing myself, right? Seems almost logical to me.
