When I get angry at others (or myself)
I wind up cutting. It's like I can focus
all my pain in one area and then practice
shutting the pain off. So all the hurt
and anger and rage goes to where I am
cutting and then I dissociate and `shut'
the pain off. Usually successfully turning
down the anger and rage.As a child I was never allowed a negative emotion
mommy couldn't handle that. So as an adult my
anger is a fragment of my personality that is
cut off from the rest of Me and needs to be reintegrated.I was also sexually abused as a child -and a lot of
us cut or SI in some manner.
