For someone who has seen the shit you have, you come across

as a caring, mostly together person.

Your self harm is your way of taking your attention from what's oppressing

you. As the "shrimp" you were not in a position to take your anger

out on others, so you turned to the only "safe" alternative.

Staying homebound keeps you out of situations where conflict may

arise, because your resulting anger only hurts you.

Picking between what are only old habits learned young and what

are serious psychological issues is for a better brain than mine

(medical training might help LOL), but you are dealing with it

in your own fashion.

Finally, listen very intently to jennaflower.
