I wasn't originally going to respond to this. And I am not going to talk about what I did. But as a motive, I cut to feel pain. I cut to see blood, to reassure myself that I was still alive. And I think it was also a way to pull myself out of dissociating.

I don't SI any more. I try to keep myself engaged in productive hobbies, and I try to talk about my feelings more, even if it is in a private journal.
