I'm surprised to see you admit to this publicly and you may yet
decide to delete your previous posts, but it seems like a real
call for help. It would do you good to go see a professional
health care worker to talk about this. I don't think your life is
at all what you want it to be right now and you would benefit
from professional help. Good Luck.
I have to say that I agree. No one should ever drink, smoke, do drugs, get tattoos or piercings, or cut themselves in order to deal with their emotions. There are right and wrong ways to deal with emotions. I'm not criticizing at all, like I said, I've gotten a tattoo for every miscarriage. The bottom line is like lizbud said...It's not normal. There is nothing ok or right about damaging your body for the sake of releasing emotions.
