Answers:
i self harm, people self harm because the physical pain is better than the emotional pain, it is a coping method when things are messed up in peoples lifesWww@Answer-Health@Com

People self harm for the following reasons:

When the level of emotional pressure becomes too high it acts as a safety valve - a way of relieving the tension!.

Cutting makes the blood take away the bad feelings!.

Pain can make someone feel more alive when feeling numb or dead inside!.

Punishing oneself relieves feelings of shame or guilt!.

When it's too difficult to talk to anyone, it's a form of communication about unhappiness - a way of acknowledging the need for help!.

Self-harm gives a sense of control when other parts of life may not!.

I think people who think it is for attention do not fully understand why someone does it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't, but I do have sympathy for them, they are going through hell, imagine been controlled by negativity's, unable to trust friends and family, because voices are tell you they are going to let you down!. and yes some times they do seek attention, it's their way of crying for help!. There are also times when they are fighting their darn best just to feel normal, and all we see is them having another episode, We need to pay more attention, sometimes all they need is a hug to keep them from getting under!.

I believe that people who harm themselves need desparately to seek professional help!.It could be a need for attention, I don't know!. I believe that such behavior could escalate to suicide!.Whatever problems you might have are not worth hurting yourself and God forbid taking your own life!. PLEASE get some help, your life is worth as much as any one else's!. I wish you the absolute best in the decisions you make!. You can get better and live a good life!.Yes I do have sympathy for people who do this, and no I've never done anthing like that myself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Self harm is a cry for help!. I never did it myself but I know people that used to do that!. It stems from an inability to cope with emotional problems; by cutting the person distracts themselves from reality so their brain can focus on the physical pain and no where else!. Anyone who does that needs professional help to find a better way of dealing with the issues they have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it probably boils down to sheer laziness but i havent really hurt myself purposely too much!. im pretty clumsy though so its frequent in my life!. people who do this are both attention-seeking and in need of help, respectively!. i have more sympathy for them than i do for women who get boob jobs to boost confidence, but less sympathy for them than i do for the children in darfur!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Although I don't cut myself or am not anorexic, I think being overweight (which I am) is a form of self-harm!. As for my feelings towards cutting or being self destructive, I feel sadness for those individuals!. I can only imagine the amount of pain they are experiencing that would drive them to self destruction to deal with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i believe this to be a good question!.!.!.i have cut in the past to relieve the emotional pain i was experiencing!. the last time i cut was Jan!.07 i almost died (in a way i think i wanted to) but the reason was i want to feel again!. i was all alone, no friends, no job, family problems and i felt like if i cut i would feel something other than the pain in my heart!. so maybe some of it was to get attention from my loved ones that i thought (key word thought) had given up on me and was no longer there for me!.
i have bipolar II ultra rapid-cycling and borderline personality disorder with histrionic traits!. i take a ton of medications to help with the illness & disorders!.
the urge to cut remains, but i will be a survivor and live a quality life!. i have move forward with out looking at my past!. i try to feel hings in my life without the use of cutting!
for all the cutters out there my heart goes out to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think they need to seek some help from a doctor!.
I think some people hurt themselves just to see how it feels!. I dont think they are always suicidal!. Some people are emotionally numb and want to feel something I think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
