...I feel like I want to fight but then other times I just don't feel like I have the enrgy.

I know there are more appropriate and less maladaptive (I hate that word) ways of functioning but as long as I keep functioning isn't that what matters?

Survival is the game. Who cares what one has to do to survive

i might be the wrong person to answer but it looks like i will be the first to post. I don't consider i have a problem, wheater i am in denial who knows...i knew i used to have a problem cutting all the time. it was a horrible dark place i was in, and that was giving me the only release. now i am not in that horrible place but there are times where i get that way and it is the only way to get relief. yeha i guess i could try something else...but nothing works.
And i am not all yes cutting is ok, but i have tattoo's a lot of them, and i don't see the difference between getting a needle repeatedly scratching your skin for hours at a time or cutting just a few times. (who knows maybe they are both bad, and i am not trying to start a thread argument here on whats bad and what isn't) this is just my thinking at yes it may be wrong but it's how my brain thinks.

i am the wrond person to seek advice probably about this subject...but i am the right person who knows what you mean by the question you. ask

I guess it all has to do with the reasons behind it?

I too have tattos and want more but in a lot of ways that is a seperate kind of feeling. Yes, I have thought of tattos when I have the urge because at least it is socially acceptable but generally I place them both is very different categories. Maybe I am wrong with that.

They both can have the same effect though

SI might be better than a total meltdown, but only in the short term, if your not getting professional help SI is only putting off the crash, and when it comes it will be so much worse.

If you are not seeing someone for help please do.

Yes it is usually just putting off a a meltdown or at the very least pushing studd down, waiting for it to be brought back up at a later date. Of this I am all too familiar. And yes I am seeing someone. This is not something we talk about exactly but we deal with other stuff which will at some point render this topic null

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
