I read somewhere that sometimes (though of course not in all cases) self harm is a sort of preparation or 'building up to' ctb - you build up some tolerance to pain, you 'teach' yourself how to inflict harm on yourself, you become a little bit 'braver' (for want of a better word) each time. I've started to self-harm a little for the first time in well over ten years & I only ever did a couple of small times before- once as a teen and again in my twenties - I'm wondering if I am unconsciously trying to build up nerve to harm myself or whether it's just because of the turmoil I am now in...
