self mutilation

i cut myself all the time when i was a teenager.  i stole razor blades from my dad's workbench.  i carved "i hate me" into my left arm when i was about 14 or 15.  i pick and scratch.  it takes weeks, months for me to heal from a small cut or abrasion.  when i am extremely stressed, i pick at my fingernails and rip them off.  often i rip them so close that they bleed and intensely throb for days after.  it's really gross but i can not stop myself once i start.  it gives me a rush.  i feel actual physical pain instead of heartache and emptiness.  but it doesn't last.
