Cherokee answered Monday April 25 2011, 1:22 am: You should find other activities that give you mental pleasure. I use to cut my wrist because of problems i had at home. This isn't healthy i stopped by finding other things to do to relieve my pain or stimulate my body. I really like drawing and singing so when i feel down that's what i run to. So find something that you enjoy and continue to do that. Good Luck! [ Cherokee's advice column | Ask Cherokee A Question ]
