"Cutting" can be very addictive. The sensation of physical pain releases endorphins in the brain which produce a natural "high", so to speak. Similar to why some people find tattoos to be "addicting".
However, this is *not* good behaviour at *all*, because all it takes is one wrong cut, and suddenly you've hit a vein or artery and the bleeding is uncontrollable. I know of several places on the body that, once cut, you pretty much bleed to death. And no, not just the neck or wrists can do this.
Please, tell someone who cares about this behavior, and take steps to stop it. You don't want to accidentally end up dead over something like this.
not really. you're doing it because you tried it once and got addicted
ummmmmmmmm you kind of answered your own question, maybe you Just don't mind the blood for that particular reason. Just a thought, hope this helps......................................
Nope.
No, it just means that you enjoy the release that the cutting gives you. I too am a self-harmer, and the feelings of euphoria you get from cutting are just to good to life without. I'm in recovery but i have a long way to go.
Please stop cutting. I know its hard, and i know you think i really don't have a clue what I'm talking about, but i really do. Also, even if the cuts are not deep, it doesn't matter. They will get deeper.Trust me. I started out with just a few scratches on my arm, which turned into cuts, which turned into holes in my skin. I have alot of scars on my arm which I'm not proud of. But you don't need to go through all this, stop cutting now whilst you are ahead. Stop before ou addicted and before you need it to survive. Because believe me you will. You will end up waking up and thinking about cutting, going through the day wanting to cut, and going to bed still thinking about cutting.I got like that. But you can stop.
Please get help, please. Cuts on your arm do nothing to shift the emotional pain. Talk to somebody. Get help. You need it.
Also don't listen to people who say its just because somebody is "emo". That is complete sh*t. Its just a stupid generalization and people see somebody in black and immediately think they are depressed and that they cut.
Good luck sweetie. e-mail me if you EVER want to chat. Kate x
It's a release...it does not register at the time what you are doing, only after when you get the feelings of disgust at yourself for giving in to the urge again. I did it for many years myself. You should really think about seeing a doctor if you feel ready to :)
