Blue this is a terrific idea......

I will start this off. I will not cut myself because I have enough scars on my arms/body and I don't need anymore.
 
I'm so relieved to come across this...
I will try not to cut/hurt myself because...honestly I hardly know why. I know that it upsets my loved ones and I don't want to upset them or feel ashamed around them. Also I don't want them to know but I don't want to be secretive either.
I will try not to cut/hurt myself because...it's embarrassing
I will try not to cut/hurt myself because...it's hard to hide...
I'm sorry, I wish I had better reasons.
 
Because I never want to see the look of shock and concern on my mother's face again when she looks at me and asks me what I've done to my face and if it is like cutting (what I thought was "picking" and not a big deal until I had cut my nose, chin and forehead up and looked gruesome).

Because I don't want to have another reason to hide from people and be antisocial ("I can't go to xyz because I'm waiting for my nose to heal.")
 
For my children's sake and my own safety, I take everyday as a reminder that I'm healing no matter how bad I have felt in the past, in the present and possible future, though the future does scare me, cause I can't picture having it yet. I'm taking one day at a time and learning anyways to not beat myself up.
