Thank you for the article.

"One of the main problems I see with self injury is it IS just another form of ABUSE. Many self injurers were abused at some point in their life (emotional, physical, sexual, any kind). By abusing your body, you are continuing the cycle of abuse."
- okay I can see that. It just really doesn't feel like a big deal. I guess the recurrent abuse I experienced as a child didn't seem like a big deal after a while either.
