Do you consider yourself addicted? Why or why not?
I dont. I consider self harm to be a coping mechanism all be it an unhealthy one. But I dont do it because I am addicted. I do it out of intense pain and confusion and when I can see no other alternative to help me get through my hard times.

No, I am not addicted either. I rarely act on the thoughts if I find there would be nothing left of me.

i do not do self harm…but i do think and plan and get totally ready for SI. sometimes, i think i am addicted to the idea that i have everything i need and i can do it any time and no one would know. sometimes i think that if i didn’t know i could do it, i couldn’t get thru a day.
