		<description>CRAP I FORGOT SOMETHING ELSE!!!

Like I said before, it doesn&#039;t make you a masochist. If you were, then if I were to slap you across the face, you&#039;d like it. You&#039;re not a masochist. Like I said before, you&#039;re addicted to cutting. And like I said before one day, it&#039;s possible to get addicted to that.</description>

		<description>Kimmie,

I just read this. Honestly, I&#039;m not angry with you. But I&#039;m going to tell you, judging from everything you&#039;ve said here, I think you really are addicted to cutting yourself. 

There are 4 universal signs/stages of addiction; loss of control, obsessive/compulsive, denial, and negative consequences. So far, I believe you&#039;ve actually exhibited all four :(

*sigh* I do understand that you&#039;ve been through so much for someone your age. I also do understand that pain gives you a kind of release from intense emotions. And I guess that you may still be angry because of what happened in elementary school is giving you the drive, the &lt;i&gt;craving&lt;/i&gt; to cut even more. I really think you&#039;re addicted to cutting Kimmie. You do need help (I&#039;m not saying you&#039;re insane), and I really wish I could. Please, if you have any idea how I can help you either fend off your cravings or help you stop cutting, then LET ME KNOW!!! I don&#039;t want to stand aside and watch this destroy you (because every addiction, no matter what it is, is bad for you). I suppose I&#039;ll have to talk to you about it when you come back. *sigh* This comment of mine probably isn&#039;t going to make you happy at all.....</description>
