Triggering (SI) - Defending SI? *Might Trigger?*

[Rod]

This is my first post, so dont be too nasty, hey.

Anyway, I've been a cutter for a long time. And recently I've found myself actually trying to justify what I'm doing. Maybe cause I get sick of being called crazy, maybe cause that way I dont feel like such an idiot.

I know its not good. I'm not that dumb. But I cant quite see it as mental material. Its just a way to deal with things, a bad way, but it doesnt mean I'm some sort of psychopath... does it?

Honestly, it just seems logical to cut and get on with the rest of my day, even if its gonna be lousy. It doesnt seem fair that people lable you a nutcase 'cause you cut.

Does anyone else ever think like this, or is it just me?

I see it as no worse than doing drugs...which is harming yourself...it makes you feel better...cutting harms yourself, makes you feel better....its just not as accepted as drugs. Yet.
