some of those I can't tell what you're trying to type :-?

not long im sure, then il do it again
--if you're so certain that you'll just do it again.... w/o trying other ways to cope then why bother?

I'm assuming you want to get something out of answering these questions... I'm just not sure what.

it's up to you to be willing to find ways of coping & to put up with hurting.

have you checked the coping board?
