More from Wonder
I've done my share of cutting and burning, though I haven't done it in about two years. My impulses usually came from anger, dissociation, and/or a sense that I couldn't get attention any other way (though, paradoxically, I didn't seek attention from the cutting and burning either - I hid it, and was excruciatingly embarrassed when I had to go to the ER with an infected self-injury.)
