I enjoyed talking to you about this last night. There are so many things we can do to abuse and neglect ourselves besides cutting or burning. Sometimes it's just neglecting our self-care. I know I do little stuff like this all the time, and I bet that lots of people do and aren't even aware of why they are doing it and how it helps them cope. I generally feel like I function better overall when I am doing these things, and I'm afraid of what I might do if I tried to stop.

You take care too! Thanks for your reply.
