I feel like something was stolen from me. 
SI was mine, it was that thing that no one knew about, only me. No one to tell me to stop, or to hate me for it, or tell me it's bad, or give me any kind of opinion.
I've taken it from myself, why do people find it empowering to quit? I would say I feel empty, but I feel. I loved that high of letting the anger and sadness rush into me, and then feeling it slowly drain out as I cut or hit.  It was like a release, going from stress to no stress in a matter of minutes.
Why do I have to quit? Yes, it is bad for me in some ways, but it's not entirely bad as long as I'm not dead from it..
