Among the many endearing symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (hereinafter BDP) is self-mutilation. Working with many people who suffer from BDP at a local psychiatric facility, I have witnessed this behavior firsthand. I'll be honest, it's actually a little scary. Cutting is more common than one would think, and celebrities like Amy Winehouse and Angelina Jolie admit to this destructive behavior. Most cutters claim that they engage in the behavior because they are void of emotion, and feeling anything, even pain, is better than feeling numb.
But here's what I want to know, why not just get a Brazilian bikini wax? It hurts like hell and I'm willing to bet it hurts more than the superficial cuts most cutters make. Plus, there is the added bonus that your boyfriend will be thrilled. Is it me, or is this not a brilliant idea? I think I've stumbled on a solution that has been taunting mental health workers for years.
