When I used to cut, I did it so the physical pain could mask the emotional pain I was feeling. With this problem I'm having with my eyes now, I realise how ridiculous that reason was. How you're feeling emotionally doesn't just disappear because of the physical pain. Instead, you now have two types of pain to deal with instead of one. It's stupid to think otherwise.

Ps. For those of you who don't know, yes, I used to self-harm. I'm not proud of it, but I've reached that point where I'm okay with admitting to it because it's something that I've learnt from.
