help?

[Longhorn]

sorry for the late reply, thank you guys immensely for the kind words and support

I wish that I could really hug you.

Has anything happened lately to make you feel the urge to hurt yourself?

I wish you could hug me too

just another one of those dumps I get into sometimes

It's good that you tell us.
If it helps I can look at you reproachfully and tell you to stop this nonsense

thanks but no need, I got this

No, but seriously, I know you'll find the courage to contact a pro in one form or another. I know someone who did cut himself when he was in school. He's perfectly fine now, and you'll be, too.

Can I ask what the mechanism behind it is? What kind of emotional reaction does this type of stimulation facilitate that it becomes addictive? Is it some kind of processing of conflicts? Sorry, I'm curious.

anxiety->self harm->relief or
numbness->self harm->feeling something


Im after a long honest talk with someone and I think now I'll be able to get it under control completely
thanks guys again, you're all great
(and no worries, the cuts are clean like a baby's butt)
