I Cut Myself Because Of Depression

My cousin went to the doctor because something is wrong with her arm. The doctor told her people who used to self mutilate have a lower tolerance to pain. This makes no sense... Wouldn't it be the other way?

I dont believe that's the case - it seems more plausible to me that the doctor is using this to try and scare your cousin

If I caught it correctly, the doctor was using it t downplay her pain and not give her anything for it.

@kimtin33: thats a really shitty doctor, then - if he was true, it should be more of a reason to give her pain relief: just because there's an (alleged) reason why her tolerance is lowered is no reason to deny her relief from it, unless he's a moralising asshole that wants to punish her

I dunno that there's any correlation, but I cut on and off for 8 years and my pain tolerance is absolutely terrible.
