A lot of reasons, I learnt that after 4 years it's finally not worth it!. I've been self mutilating since I was 13 I'm 17 now and still find away of doing it!.
I don't cut anymore I stopped that last year!. Now I don't eat when I'm depressed and end up almost starving!.!.!.


I do it because I feel worthless, a big fat waste of space and so I wanted to go!. Then it turned into an addiction and I couldn't help but cut myself, I got banned from using sharp objects and the school banned me from wearing short sleeves!. I had to wear my school hoody all the time!.

It all started when I was 11 I started scratching my arms to bits, taking off layers of skin!.!.!. then I started cutting at 13!.



Some people do it for attention, some do it because they feed a need too, some people just want to die!. It really depends on the person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

"When everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive" That's from a song, and I think it makes sense!. I went through a cutting stage when I was about 12, and luckily managed to stop soon after!. It made me feel alive, and was something in my life that only I could control!. When things got bad for me, just knowing that I had the power to control something, knowing that I could end all my suffering if I wanted to, helped me!.

It was part of my depression, which I only came to realize much later!. Your friend is probably struggling with issues deep inside, and maybe being in a place like that will give him the time and space to come to terms with his issues!.

Wishing you all the best!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it's like depression!. It's pretty hard to pinpoint what the reason is without talking to your friend!. Sometimes people feel like the world is closing in on them and nothing is going right!. They feel hopeless and think they have nowhere to turn to for help!. All you can do is let him know that you are there for him!. Sometimes people just need sometone to listen to them!. Hope everything works out for him, and for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i dont do anything like that!.!.anymore!. But when I was going through depression I at times felt a great deal of emotional pain!. I can't handle emotional pain nearly as well as I could physical!. So I would cut and hurt myself physically and focus on that pain, and take my mind off the mental pain I couldn't properly deal with at the time!. It may seem stupid to people that don't understand it, but when you're depressed your mental stability isn't exactly great, and it does help some people!. I would never do it at this point in my life though, but Thats how I viewed it at that time in my life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

people can self harm for numerous reasons!.
*to see if they can feel anything else other than sadness
*because they feel guilty and feel like they need to be punished
*and some do it for attention (but not many)
people usually self harm when they have depression!. it sounds like your mate had depression and he wanted to get out of the endless sadness!.
hope this helps

Theres lots of reasons eg depression, self-hate, a way of realese, attention, some people feel like they deserve the pain and some just want to conform to being "emo"!. It can be any of these and often more than one but everyones situation and reasoning for it is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when i'm really down, hurt and depressed

I sometimes cut myself or punch hard on the wall

and when I do, there's this release of "FINALLY! I hurt as much on the outside as I do on the inside!."

or just want to add scars!.!.!. want to do some damage!.!.!.!.

thoughts of wanting to see how much pain I can handle!.!.!.

make sure you're still alive when you feel so dead inside!.!.!.!.

having control over your pain!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well mostly because of depression!. And sometimes people do stupid things!. Like me, My boyfriend broke up with me and I cut myself!. Then, I got addicted to it and I can't stop, even though I want to!. It sucks crap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any self-loathing can initiate suicidality!.

Mine stems from childhood mental abuse and a hostile living environment as well as bipolar disorder's 'complimentary' severe depression!.

It is a hopelessness, either utter confusion or pure clarity, and a desire to make SOMETHING workWww@Answer-Health@Com

everyone does it for a different reason!. It can help take away the pain, it can show people they are in pain, or they are craving attention and thats why they do it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you feel like you deserve it!.
like you have to punish yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
