Sounds about right Noa. Soetimes I do it to exercise some control over an un controllable situation. My friends would tell you that I NEED to be in control of things at all times especially myself. I even get extremely upset over things I can't possibly control and that sometimes leads to my cutting episodes. But I still think it's about proving something. Either to myself or other's about how much of this hell they call life I can actually stand. I may need some therapy to figure it out completely but for now, I'll just make sure I don't sever any major arteries. Thank you for the support and feedback. Love you for your caring heart. Tina

> In the Levenkron book, he talks about some women who cut in this kind of way--to confirm a sense of control. They don't cut in any life-threatening way, and always cut in hidden places. The women tend to be high achievers, and seem perfectly well-adjusted to all around them. But often they are coping with difficult feelings in an environment that frowns on emotional expression, especially negative emotions.
