Dear youngaddict,
Are you me? Are we the same person? I want to add a smiley there, but I suppose it isnt quite appropriate given the similarities I'm talking about...
But yes, I do. I had a very serious problem with it several years ago and only cut rarely now.. in small spurts when things get bad. I find it doesnt work for me like it used to. But I sometimes do feel like PART of the reason I have done it is to express what I cant say in words in therapy. I generally dont bring it up though so it isnt discussed, but I guess it helps me validate my own pain in some weird way. I have only slipped a few times in the past year and it's not a big issue for me right now, but I am definitely someone who can relate.
Does your T know you cut? What is her take on it?
