[quote=Anonymous]I was actually coming on this forum to post almost the exact same thing! But mine is DS not DD. I stayed calm when I discovered it yesterday and am doing research today, but it's really overwhelming! Here's a question that maybe doesn't have an answer - is cutting different than drinking, smoking, drugs, finger picking, etc. I now these 'comping mechanisms' are not labled self-harm, but maybe they should be? It doesn't change my approach, but self-harm is such a graphic label. I'm trying to understand if this behavior is more deep seeded, or could it just be an initial attempt to escape from his own mind? Also, has anyone's child ever been 'cured' of cutting? Did they 'just grow out of it' or did they go through treatment. (I don't mean to hijack your thread, OP, just thought you probably have these same thoughts/questions too)[/quote]
