I already said this on the other thread, but I really do think that a LOT of us seek out triggers when we want to si.
You know what I think part of that is, as least for me? I think it has to do with not feeling like our feelings are valid and ok. In my case, I often feel like I have no right or reason to be hurt or upset, so when something does upset me and I want to cut (or at least want to feel really bad and/or want to ask for help and love and support), I don't allow myself to do any of that because I feel I have no right to my feelings in the first place. For me, I think THAT is when I start looking for triggers- I just keep hoping I can find something that will give me a "good enough" reason to cut... I think...
Am I making any sense, folks?
