Re: Psychological addiction... -

Self harm is an addicition, it's something to do with the feel good hormones your body realeses after cutting, you become psychologicly addicted to that feeling, it also becomes a coping mechanism,
although it is an addiction, just like smoking, and other addictions, it's something you can overcome, and it's not always going to be easy, but you can do it, does anyone know about your self injury other than your boyfriend?, someone closer to home? having a strong support system is going to help you in the long run.
Have you ever looked at the altenatives page?
print it off and keep it in a place you can get to at anytime,
if you ever need anything, PM me
Take care!
