--My family makes me feel like I deserve it. --I receive so much emotional pain I can't deal with it; physical pain is so much each to deal with, I cut enough so that the physical overpowers the emotional. --Physical pain gives me a sense of control. when you're hurting inside, you feel lost, confused, etc. when you're cutting, you can say, ok, my arm hurts right here, I know that if I put a bandage on it, it will be better and the pain will stop. --I hate hypocritical people who say we SI for attention. I can't speak for everyone, but I definitely do not want attention!!! I got reported and my SI was investigated by my mom, doctor, counselor etc. That is NOT the kind of attention I would ever want, and I would never be so desperate for it that I would even want negative attention like that. **I do to my body what's been done to my soul**
