Multiplicity

I think the people in here who cut do it for the same reason singletons cut. It's about depression, not about being multiple. We're trauma-origin too, and yes, Our trauma does make Us depressed, as do a number of things, but it's the depression that makes Us self destructive, not being multiple. The whole, secondary disorders thing. I think even across the spectrum of multiples, you'll find natural multiples who cut. And you'll find singletons who cut because of depression too. A lot of Us used to cut, but now We're not allowed anymore and many don't even have the urge to anymore because they're not as depressed as they used to be or as depressed as some of the rest of Us are who do still want to cut.
