Hi welcome to SR, there are many others here with the same addiction you have. No ones going to hate on you here, we all are dealing with an addiction of one form or another. I watched a thing on Tv tonight about folks who customize there bodies, such as full body tatoos, piercings, scarifacation,ect. A psychologist that was featured stated that many folks do this because they were abused mentally/physically when they were growing up. He states that these modifacations are a way for the people to take the pains dealt to them into their own hands rather then letting someone else deal out the pain. He says its their way of saying look, you can't hurt me anymore, only I can hurt myself.
It was an interesting show. Anyways, In my early teen/goth years I sliced my arms up pretty good. I believe for me it was a reach out to my family for attention, everybody has their own reasons I imagine and I am sure its a mental thing but obviosly there is a lot of physical addiction going on there, its an addiction to the hurt.
Stick around you will find lots of good info, and lots of caring folks that go above and beyond to offer their help.
