Cutting and burning are the "fast food" of coping skills. I have done it to make the pressure in my head go away, because I hated myself for being weak, and to stop the internal pain. I was talking with my sister the other day, we are trying to quit smoking, and we both thought that the smoking was an extended suicide attempt.
Again, thank you forum, I thought my reasons were so internal, n obody else was this f***ed up. I can't tell all of you how much I thank you for telling your stories.
