Ah well, Tina, it's something I can sympathise with but not empathise as I know if you don't have that particular mind frame, even the best-intentioned person can't understand it. I think my 19 year old son has what you have somewhat. He's got my type of depression but he loves to endure pain. He says it gives him a feeling of control to see how far he can test his body. He can't understand when I'm in pain from something why I can't just control it like he does. I never quite knew what he meant before. I guess I do now. When I see him again, I'll have to ask. He liked hitting things too but not to injure & wreck them but to test his strength & pain limits. It scares me sometimes on how our brains can be so screwed up.
