Blowing up your own spot

[ed the head]

'Blowing up your own spot' is Bronx vernacular a I'm glad a friend shared with me.

It's typical use would be 'Why you blowing up your own spot?'

Taking actions and/or making decisions that worsen one's own condition is a common enough human condition to warrant creation of this phrase.

In my own life I have two family members afflicted with this condition. Since apathy is apparently not a viable option I have grappled with dealing with this. Fortunately, Bronx vernacular back to the rescue.

'You better check yourself before you wreck yourself'

The way I feel about the people in my life can dramatically change from one moment to the next—and I don’t always understand why.
I often do things that I know are dangerous or unhealthy, such as driving recklessly, having unsafe sex, binge drinking, using drugs, or going on spending sprees.
I’ve attempted to hurt myself, engaged in self-harm behaviors such as cutting, or threatened suicide.
