@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.

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.
