Well I can say I have for sure felt as you have. Especially in the midst of a depressive episode. If it works for me, and I'm not harming YOU, then stfu and let me be.

But at the same time, it hits me like a physical lunch when one of my students (I teach emotionally disturbed teenagers) mentions to me that he/she cuts. Because I know how much pain you have to be in to do that to yourself. And I always feel so sad when I know others are in that much pain.

So on the one hand I see where you're coming from. On the other, I doubt society will ever accept it. People who have never done it can just never understand. Only those of us who have been on the ride know where it stops.

In the meantime just stay safe and try to avoid doing it in places they will see. Then you won't catch grief. Only my husband sees my cuts, and I even fooled him with bracelets a few times over the summer.
