In reply to what does the brain do?, posted by smokeymadison on April 30, 2004, at 20:03:51

I think there are as many reasons to harm yourself as there are self injurers. Probably more, because I know I do it myself for different reasons. To short circuit the electrical feeling of anxiety, to make the pain tangible, and sometimes some not so nice reasons like wanting to have the secret knowledge that I've harmed myself when I'm angry. I'm not proud of that, but it's true.

They say it produces endorphins, and maybe that's the reason you do it.

Sometimes, I just have this calm certaintly come over me, and it doesn't even make sense to talk about it or call my therapist because it's like the process is already started and can't be short circuited. It's as inevitable as the sun rising. I suppose the responsible thing to do is to call my therapist anyway tho. I just don't know that i'll do it.
