Possible TRIGGER (sorry, I don't know how to add the trigger warning thingy).

I am especially interested (my previous post being a lot to take in and maybe not of interest) whether you can relate to self-harm being a way to give (a) reason for emotional pain and problems, of course made worse by impulsivity?

I know this is probably hard to answer: from experience with mild self-harm, I don't really know why I do it, but I think this could be valid explanation.

Same for self-hurting having too much energy and losing it a bit. It probably calms me, in situations where I cannot pace, talk a mile a minute or nervously tap with my feet, but maybe just by reminding me of emotional pain and loss of energy. I don't know.

Anyone see it in a similar way? Could this be right?
