Answers:
Yea hon, i know where your at!.!. its a horrible situation & i think you should try and get some help (i didnt get help from psychiatrists etc, just finally met a good friend who let me talk and talk until one day i didnt feel i needed to talk anymore and i wasnt cutting or any of the other self abusive stuff anymore)
I know what you mean, cutting on the outside at first feels great because its distracting from the deep emotional pain, but after a while i became like an iceblock!.!. inside & out nothing hurt, nothing mattered, i didnt care what happened to me, used to fantasise about how i would feel if certain things happened to me or people around me and realised i didnt care at all!.!. hit rock bottom!.!. !. Stopped eating, ended up in hospital, overdosing on stuff all the time!. Its a dam scary place to be and i hope you come out ok!. Chin up & start talking!.!. even if u get drunk & start babbling it out, sounds like u need to let some stuff out!.!.
Anyway, i hope i have helped, just by letting you know i understand your pain!.!. At least u know ur not alone!.!. Best wishes for the future babe!.
p!.s!. took me about 8 years, but im all good now!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ive never cut but it makes sense it could happen if you get really disconnected from yourself i have self harmed by picking out my skin and hairs with needles and tweezers and it was bleeding and it didnt hurt even though it shouldve although it wasnt bad enough to need medical attention oh i thought o f another thing too it could be that it just traumatized the nerves so much they were overloaded and didnt process the pain signals properly ive heard of really deep wounds not hurting just an idea

and you are right its not as easy as just stopping its your way of coping and you will be able to overcome it when you are ready i mean come on i think its crazy how people think you dont know its maladaptive and dangerous and really people never recover until their ready to so ignore those idiots who tell you to stop and w/e because no matter what your vice is whether its cutting, anorexia, gambling, drugs, etc its never as simple as stopWww@Answer-Health@Com

it probably doesn't hurt you because your body has built up tolerance for the pain, you're that messed up!. Please seek help, you're not doing yourself any good, and it won't solve your problems that way, good luck!.

Okay, don't stop then, you'll just end up killing yourself if that's what you want to do, and I doubt that is what you want to do or else you would have done it by now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah i cut!. and there has been a fair few of them that have been that deep, they needed stitches!. but i didn't get them coz i didn't want anyone knowing!.!. but anyway!.!. not my point!. yeah those really deep ones don't hurt at all!. i think its just that the nerves are close to the skin!. so the deeper you go, less nerves!. i dunno!.

As for the other people that have answered this question with inappropriate comments!. you have no right to judge!. go get a life!. you obviously have nothing better to do that criticize everyone else's! don't you think that says something!?!

best wishes missy :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

People usually harm themselves because the physical pain gets rid of the emotional pain, so I dont really understand why you wouldn't want it to hurt!.

It felt good to me when I used to do it!. I dont anymore though!.

Im not exactly sure what you're asking!. Some places dont hurt as much as others!.!. uh!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes i have i think after a while of cutting you get used to the pain and don't notice it as much but eventually you just don't care so it wont hurt!.
It doesnt hurt when i cut any moreWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes, that has happened to me!. it totally sucks, because you realise just how messed up you really are >_<

*offers hugs and sparkles*

good luck sweetie, keep journeying!. you'll get there =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Harming yourself will always hurt!. If not you, then certainly the people around you!. So STOP if you care about them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that it's partly the hormones that are realised while you are cutting that stops the pain before it starts!.!.!.these endorphins are also the reason (or one of the reasons) you find relief in self harm!. It also hurts less than accidental injuries in that you are expecting it, and in control of it!. It hurts while it's healing because at this time, the endorphins and adrenaline that have come from doing it have lessened by far!. I think!. But I would like to also ask why you are doing this to yourself!. I'm sure you are a beautiful person, even if you aren't perfect, and I really hope there is someone or somewhere out there where you feel you can go to talk if you need to!. If not, if you are a young adult I would like to recommend Service 6!. Support can be accessed also through your GP!. I would also like to say that while self-harm support websites can be useful, even the professional ones can make the problem worse as they inadvertently give you ideas or add justification to the problem!. I hope you can solve this!. Life will be a lot more pleasant in the long run!. Hope this helps

EDIT: I've noticed in your addition you say it doesn't hurt while healing!.!.!.maybe that is numbness as you say, I'm not sure!. Maybe it is a case of tolerance!. Maybe you are blocking out the pain subconsciously because you want to tell yourself that it's ok to continue!. But there are other ways to cope and there is help out there!. Hope your mood improves too :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

Do you mean "If I cut myself will it hurt and then heal!?"

I've never done it, but my cousin did a cut on her arm and her vein popped and their was blood everywhere, she went to the hospital, she overdosed on Valium like a retard and now shes in a mental hospital!

Of course it hurts, if it's a big cut you'll have to get stitches, if not bacteria is going to get in it and a infection will come up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get over yourself, life sucks sometimes, deal, there are people in much worse life circumstances than you, people in third world countries who are poor, sick and tons of other things wrong that don't have the luxury to waste their time feeling sorry for themselves, be grateful for what you have!.

Actually, my life is far from "rosey", I suffer from depression and anxiety and self esteem problems and have my whole life, I barely have money or space to live a comfortable life!. My problems just keep stacking up day after day!. I have been in nothing but bad relationships friends and boyfriends, people who I trusted that deserted me and that's just the icing on the cake, and I have felt pretty hopeless plenty of times and still do yet I don't put a razer to my skin and ***** about my problems for attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
