hi minnewa and alexandra k,
i think that cutting is a complex issue, an addiction, a form of punishment, a form of release from feeling whatever it is you are feeling at the moment. i have used it for various reasons, but mostly to stop feeling whatever it is i am feeling. sometimes i feel numb and don't want to or sometimes i feel too much and don't want to. i know that when someone feels pain, endorphens or something are released that make you feel better (content, happy).
i too am going through a breakup right now. it isn't nearly as intense as it would have been if i had been with the person for as long as you have, minnewa, but it still hurts like hell. just try to keep in mind that there is a certain sort of freedom from not being in a relationship. it is a chance to start over new with your life and to change. it is very hard to change yourself when in an intense relationship if the person you are with doesn't change with you. you have a chance to make some major changes in your life. i wish you luck. i would be happy to keep talking with you if you want to.
SM
