Huh, that's interesting, I hadn't thought of it being rational when it's a 'cut or die' situation but I definitely agree with what you've said, that in those situations it is the closest to rational you can get.
Lollirot - I did make a list of pros and cons after I read this...and there is only one pro and 7 cons, and I still am trying to convince myself that I should cut. *rolls eyes* On the plus side it has made me admit to myself for the first time that this is actually an addiction. So...that's a positive I guess.
Thanks all you guys for the responses, it helped me realise that I was just rationalising the decision, not making it rational.
