I dont think cutting is about not having more effective methods of copeing. Its about that critical point when pain reaches a point when it is one of the only outlets. probably due to underdeveloped coping before the event, but at the time it is an effective release when talking and other things all fail. the times when the serpents writhe in your belly and hot coals bounce round your head. the times when you cant eat/sleep/talk/think and can only feel pain. the sad thing is since I stopped i have been transfering this little strategy to drinking and drugs and have become a much more violent person inside (though never hit anyone in anger yet).
