Fair enough answer I imagine I probably am a 7...haven't taken the test yet though. As I do tend to pick myself up and pull myself out of the blues....not that I don't still feel the pain or have the emotions like csw, I just do like you said and work on distracting myself.
If I (and only speaking for myself here k?) were to constantly read sad poetry or listen to sand songs etc...it'd make me want to slit my wrists.
Thanks for answering that for me...it helped to clarify why he would choose to do that. Everyone deals with pain in their own unique way...csw do whatever you need to.
