i am not, and never will be "emo"
it's not always a phase. some *younger* people seem to think of this as a way of getting attention. "look at me i'm so full of ANGST." those are the people to whom it's a phase.
but there are the others, like myself, for whom it is not a phase. it is a psychological condition of some sort. i take meds now, so it isn't so bad.
and part of the cutting thought process is that it is immediate. "oh, life blows, i need to cut... but instead, let me call up the tattoo shop and schedule an appointment for next week...." doesn't always work.
sometimes, yes.
mostly it's "this physical pain is better than the pain in my heart and it distracts me from the horrible realities of my crappy situation."
