Self-harm can be a way of coping with problems. It may help you express feelings you canât put into words, distract you from your life, or release emotional pain. Afterwards, you probably feel betterâat least for a little while. But then the painful feelings return, and you feel the urge to hurt yourself again.
The Public Utility Commission of Oregon (PUC) regulates customer rates and services of the state's investor-owned electric, natural gas and telephone utilities; and certain water companies.
The Commission does not regulate people's utility districts, cooperatives or municipally-owned utilities except in matters of safety. The PUC ensures consumers receive utility service at fair and reasonable rates, while allowing regulated companies the opportunity to earn an adequate return on their investment.
