Is cutting addictive for everyone?!
Question: Is cutting addictive for everyone!?
Yesterday my best friend told me that she had a huge fight with her mom, and cut her arm 9 times!. She says they're just little scratches, and she did it with scissors!.!. but still!. [I never in the history of ever would think she would do something like that!.] She said she was realllly sorry, and she doesn't know why she did it!. And she even promised she would never do it again!.
I've been hearing that it's addictive!. Does that mean it is for everyone!? Will she become addicted!? Even when she promised she would never do it again!.!.!?
Im soo worried about her, but like right now, I can't even stand looking at her!. I'm so upset with her!. But, I know that I have to be there for her!. But, things will never be the same :[[[ I don't know what to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

After one time, she's not addicted!. Cutting becomes "addictive" for a few reasons: after doing it a few times, it becomes habit!. The person begins thinking "I'm sad/angry/upset, cutting helps" and they cut instead of trying to find something else to make them feel better!. Eventually they won't be able to think of anything to do other than cutting!. The second reason is that cutting releases endorphins in the brain (natural opiates)!. So the act of cutting is a relief not only because of the emotional release, but because of brain chemistry!.
So to summarize: she's not addicted yet, but if she keeps doing it, she almost certainly will be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any behavior can be addictive!. That does not mean that it will be addictive!. Some people are "wired" to become addicts!. That means that they have a tendency to become addicts when presented with the chance!. Some become addicted to work!.
Unless you know a lot about your friend, you cannot predict whether or not she will become addicted to this behavior!. All you can do is love her and support her!. You should not encourage this behavior!. Keep loving and supporting her!. She needs to know that you value her!. She needs to value herself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
