Hi BF, how are you doing today? I know the slippery slope can last a long time. Funny how unstable is so stable sometimes. Grr.

Question: how do you feel about cruelty? Do you think it can solve anything? No obligation to reply; I just found that question worth thinking about for myself. Cruelty to self and kindness to a cat is somewhat inconsistent. I love cats and they love me. I do understand that self-injury masks other pains, just based on my own experience of using it that way. But it's been a long time and I've left that behind, thankfully.

I hope you're feeling some relief today or soon. But I realize it may not be the case.
