An American idiom(?)
Read this out,
"I think my Dad is having an affair and I can't tell anyone. Since I found out one week ago, I've gotten drunken four times
, cut myself 9 and mostly feel empty."
What does the cut myself 9 there mean?
And shoudn't it be most FELT empty instead feel empty?
TIA

It's not an idiom- unhappy people sometimes cut their arms, slash them with a knife.... those were single acts carried out in the past- but the feeling has been constant- the person still feels empty.
