((angie)) gently sweetie, treat yourself/ves gently....

Sounds like it is coming from the same place - a need to manage overwhelming feelings. Sometimes I don't even know that I am doing something to hurt myself, or even that it hurts. Recently I found out that eating jalapeno peppers goes in that category for me.

What Rap said, with me too.... but not the peppers, but the managing (?) overwhelming feelings and not even being aware............
