Ok. First of all, thank you for your words. Second of all, I can handle a higher amount of stress than most people. I also have a higher sense of touch so I don't cut deep, I actually don't cut often. Because when my boyfriend sees that I'm stressed, we cuddle or he massages my back. I do have other stress reliefs and I only cut when it builds. And yes, I have gone through a lot in my life and I do have intense fears. Thank you for your words again.
