In reply to self-harm ... well sort of, posted by Camille Dumont on October 4, 2003, at 22:32:48
hi. actually, i do the same thing. and i didn't realize it could be a self-harm thing until i just read your post!
since i do cut though, i understand the compulsion. it's very addicting. and i also felt humiliated. so, instead of telling my therapist in person, i did it in writing (email).
it was a HUGE burden lifted to not have that "secret" anymore... then it is always open for discussion if i want it to be... but more importantly, i can start to ask the question, "why?"
good luck.
