Hi Willow,

I just had to reply to your post, because a very similar thing caused me to cut for the very first time. I was in church, overwhelmed by emotions brought on by a particular song, and couldn't leave without calling attention to myself. I couldn't stop crying and (secretly) clawing at my wrist.

When church was over, I immediately went home and cut myself. That was my first episode. I only just returned to church last week, for fear of a repeat performance.
