I agree with you. My problem is getting myself to stop cutting now that I have started. It is a horrible loop as you said. Depressed so I cut, then I cut and get more depressed, so then the urge to cut gets greater. I see my T/pdoc on Thursday and I am going to talk to him and let him know what is going on. I'm scared, just so damn scared. By the way, I do take care of my cuts, which are shallow and I don't get infected, so no worries there. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
