I posted a similar item to the depression group before I saw this group; apologies for duplication.

I intentionally emotionally self harm; I will think about if my grandchildren were to die just so I can feel some emotion. I do it until my chest aches. Is this why some people cut? Can I belong to this group?

I am not able to convince my therapist how much this means to me; she is not dismissive but I feel we are not connecting on this one topic.
