> Something tells me that self-preservation is a very healthy mindset. It seems that harming oneself knowingly is not so healthy in the long run.
it may not be a healthy activity, but i dont think that it is detrimental to self preservation, the act of cutting is a pill, a poultice if you will to an intense ailment, it is a silencer to a great and imense feeling of anxiety, the anxiety becomes void because we focus on the cut... the cut overwhelms us and we are at peace for a little while, we have our wounds to tend, our battle scars...
this is my experience as a cutter, a cutter who is now, for how long? in remission...
