Hi. :)
I'm 42, and, whilst I've not intentionally hurt myself for nearly 8 months now, bruising is one way I've used to harm myself. Feeling the pain has, at times, made me feel more physically real and also 'allowed' me to cry and be less numb. But, it has always made me feel MORE raw and angry and alone.
Can you find some other, safe, non hurtful ways of expressing your feelings? Why is it you're caught up with wanting to feel more pain?
