(((chevy))) how are you doing today?
I was thinking about what you said regarding why anyone would want to do something so awful to themselves and relating it to a friend of mine who self harmed...
She explained that when she self harmed she found physical pleasurable sensations flooded her body; the physical pain registered in her mind as an elixir to take the mental anguish away.It felt good.
It soothed and numbed her thoughts that were hurting her so much.It worked.
Perhaps your friend was in such a terrible place that she realised that causing herself maximum pain would give her maximum relief..i know it sounds strange and so difficult to comprehend if youve never felt like that but I really believe people who do this do it not to punish thrmselves; but to gain the ultimate 'peace'
