i accidentally burned myself tonight when 475 degree heat came out of the oven all up my arm. It hurt and still hurts like crazy but my issue is, it almost felt good.
i have not dug myself opened for going on 7 days now and i was so proud of that but now this has almost set me back to a new level...
What's wrong with me? Why do i feel that way and why did it "feel good" to get burnt when it's so painful now?

You should know by now that your body goes into shock...even with a burn. so it always feels fine after it happens...at least until the actual pain sets in.

wow... thanks for the "heart felt" comment... "you should know" is pretty harsh but yeah, i know it's a shock but why do i want to do more? How do i stop? i haven't burned on purpose for years!
