> I cut and pasted AKC's remarks because, yes, it takes courage to admit you cut, but as I understand it, no it's not rare.
nice word choice... :) I've cut and pasted bandages... :)
I dont have tv, i mean, i just dont have cable or some sort of tv w/ a antanae, i just read mostly and listen to music, and maybe do gfx design or music production on the pc... so i'm in the dark about ER and how they treated this subject... bridging the subject at all i think is an important step... i dont ever feel like i am at 'the end of my rope' as some have described this character, but i do feel like i am at the end of my ability to rationally cope w/ my bad feelings in a non self-destructive way...
i was interesting in understanding if there is some sort of predeterminance towards cutting for one person or the other... my friend went through an instance where a girl who is in love with him showed him a deep cut she made around her wrist, (verticle, horizontal, i dont know)... he made it sound like it sickened him and he wanted to get away from her, called her 'crazy'... this is not but a few weeks when he found out that i had my cutting incident... of course we are close friends, and he doesnt judge me other than he wishes i wouldn't do that, but i wonder why he doesnt see it for what it is... a defensive mechanism... of course im not really one to go showing off to people cuts i have made... so the situation is a little bit different...
to me thre seems to be more things similar about the reasons, and reactions to personal cutting than there are differences, and perhaps it just happens for some people due to the makeup of their personalities, not necisarily a schizm or mental impetus...
back to pdocs tommorow after 1 week away, im sure they want to monitor my progress after a week of upping my medication... how are you feeling? do you feel better? to you feel like you want to hurt yourself? right now, i really dont feel anything... ive realised the best way to make it through each day is to have as little feeling as possible, for what you can not change...
