Thanks for clarifying AmandaLouise. |
you're welcome...yes I know it sounds pretty extreme but on the other end of this its a fine line between self injury and accidental death.
I personally would not want to wake up one day and open the newspaper to find someone I knew was dead because their self injuring accidentally went too far.
I'm glad NY has the laws they do. for me and others that I know who self injure, I would rather be alive and having a therapist (inpatient or outpatient) helping me to find other ways to handle my problems then risking my life through self injury.
