Crushed, I'm going to speak bluntly here, from my own experience. I had a different reason for SI - well maybe not so different because part of the reason I SI'd was because it was the only way a wordless pain could be expressed. And I wanted to express that pain.
Well, maybe I won't speak so bluntly here. Sigh. Sometimes the nature of this board is a bit limiting.
Let me just say that the likelihood is that she won't see your behavior in the way you want it to be seen. Judging from my therapist anyway.
She'll be just as moved and way more impressed if you write it down as eloquently as you post. Run it by us first if you want to see if you can make it even more explicit.
But don't self injure, please. Not for a purpose that's not likely to be met.
