While I'm talking mental illness - I'm a bit stressed today, with the convention coming up this weekend and a ton of stuff to do before we fly out on Thursday, so I'm having self-harm urges, specifically [highlight to read] thoughts about cutting my left wrist - not cutting the veins, just the skin. I've never done that and I intend to fiercely resist the urges - probably for the rest of my life. But as I remarked the other day, a lot of people think self-harm is just teenagers being drama queens, and crack "emo" jokes about it. It's a real and serious symptom of mental illness; I struggle with it every day; and it's not funny.
