This isn’t always the case for me, but sometimes after I self harm I’ll feel genuinely giddy. It sucks since a lot of the time it’ll be the happiest I’ve felt the whole week, so it’s just reinforcing it. I have a friend who struggles with the same thing and says she feels similarly, so I was kind of curious if this was a common sentiment.

Anybody else feel really happy afterwards? Is there some sort of psychological reason for this?
