I want to give you lots of hugs to let you know that you are NOT a psycho. I have scars from when I thought it made me feel better, too. I get along without doing it anymore 'cause I found other things to release the pain. You'll find those other things too. You have to try to do something else before cutting. Just give it 5 to 10 minutes before caving in-but you have to really try to get engrossed in whatever you choose. I use to like to get a pen and a notepad and write some really mean and nasty words on them about who or what I was feeling. I'd write it so hard I'd tear the page. I'd really get into it and go from page to page tearing into the paper. It felt good. I liked it. I would rip up all the pages really good and throw them away after I was finished and then I'd write in my journal-more calmly and with more in depth thought about where these feeling were coming from. That helped me but you may need to try something else-it's very personal so it's a find out by trial sort of thing. Just try something, anything, Candybear.
