@Katileena:
Yeah, I think animals do know when we're in pain and that some of them are acutely aware of the fact.
I have 2 kitties, Amadeus and Edgeworth.
Amadeus seems to be the more sensitive to my feelings than Edge is... Edgeworth's kind of a space cadet, though.

A while back when I had a complete breakdown in the middle of the night, sobbing in to a towel (because no one wants to get the carpet messy, eh?), Amadeus stayed by me guarding me for hours... just laying there and protecting me.

@michelle:
Most definitely it is addicting. I completely understand having urges even when one is in a decent mood.
I went, I think... three years... and then I relapsed, then relapsed again after about a year. And I've been combating it more actively since, it seems to pop up more often.
Possibly because I feel guilty about being a burden, which I definitely feel that I am at times.

still don't understand why i would want SI for no reason sometimes.
From what my last therapist told me, SI is one of the most addicting things that you can do, since it releases pure adrenaline.

@Sannah
No, I haven't gone to therapy for a few years now.
I had an experience that my therapist just handed off my group therapy to an intern without even informing me, and I lost a huge amount of trust in that episode. Which is a pity, considering I had gone to him for... 12 years, I think.
