Arora, go easy on yourself. I don't know about cutting but I would think that at least not doing that is better than cutting. I know you still hurt yourself and I am sad for your inner kid that is so upset but at least you or her controlled the cutting. I think that is progress, or I hope so. You are allowed to be angry. If you are like me we had something valuable stolen from our childhood and it is affecting our adulthood and it is hard to deal with so angry we are. It has changed us and changed how we function in the world today. That is hard to manage. We have our survivual methods but they don't always work and we wind up here. So I think our anger is justified. Now what we do with it I have no clue. Channel it I guess but I haven't reached that point yet. I wanted you to know you are not bad. No you are good Arora. Dont say you are bad. You haven't don't anything bad. Be kind to yourself by giving yourself a break. Punch a pillow if you need to punch something. Good girls have a breaking point too just like anyone else. So punch the pillow and let it out. And just cause you feel like punching something doesn't make you bad just human. Ok......rk
