Gets to a point where you really can't operate any more as a human being -- you can't get out of bed, you can't... make yourself a cup of coffee without something going badly wrong or your body's too weak to walk.
Quote #1501 by Richey James Edwards for Swedish TV Station (1994)
Self-mutilation is a very different issue to suicide. It is a controlled pain personal to you, allowing you to live/exist to some degree.
Quote #1094 from Richey James Edwards quoted by The Art of Falling Apart (February 2002) (Stuart Bailie) (Mojo)
