Addiction.?
Question by Sidnii;; act on your impulse: Addiction.?
I have been addicted to drugs, but somehow I’ve gotten hooked on self-mutilation (cutting). I know that sounds stupid, but once you start you cant stop. I know ‘rehab’ is in order, but I don’t feel the need to go to a nuthouse that reaks of old people. I just need a substitute for cutting, so I can lessen the process, and go to not cutting.
I’ve been cutting for atleast a year now, and it had gotten to the point where I had passed out from blood loss. Now, how will this also affect my sports career at school?
