This thread makes me happy in a way for the flood, there seems to be a lot of positive response and the OP is doing a great job.
Although I never self-harmed through some of the rough times I completely rationalize the escape it offers for people. In-fact, my girlfriend used to cut herself, in the beginning of our relationship she lied about the scars, saying her cats caused them from jumping out of her arms like that. That day that she told me the real reason behind the scares was a day I will never forget. She had stopped cutting before our relationship started and hadn't during it. I remember the look in her eyes when she told me the truth. She cried and I just held her, sitting there for what felt like an hour before either of us said anything.
Good people hurt themselves every day, it's a tragic situation that I wish more people would be open to.
