bob- I hear you here. This is a consideration thathas never been mentioned to me before. I am a confessed control freak, and it seems that when things are happening that are out of my control , as is common during a rage, I turn to cutting. I guess it is just a means of gaining some control over things that I cannot have any influence on. thanks you for this interesting insight. I have often heard the child abuse connection- but never the control issue. I was never abused as a child and it had kept me wondering if I am some sort of far-fetched abberation. Thanks Again, I am feeling edgy today and I am concerned that I may need to increase my meds or change something since I wouldn't put it past myself to cut again today and I have never cut twice in such a short time- It is alsointeresting that I don't remember most of what tookplace this weekend with my family having to fill in the blanks for me. Really scary. Anyway , thanks for the input. I am not sure what to do about this or even if there is a way to stop it. I guess Time will tell.-Cyndy
