Do most people SI on impulse, or do others put thought into it like I do?
I do this. Especially before when I cut, I would plan when and where to harm. Things would get so stressful and become so hard to handle that I'd feel like SI was all I had to combat those feelings. Then I would start planning it all in my head and would actually receive comfort from that. You're not alone in this.
