i just don't know what it is...

If you cut yourself on purpose, for any reason, to inflict pain, to release tension or because you feel as if you "need" to, then actually you aren't fine.

You aren't crazy or stupid or bad either.

You simply have a problem. Some people drink, some people do drugs, some people have road rage and some people hurt others. Cutters generally hurt themselves.

You would be amazed how many people, from all different walks of life chose this as their method of control, or as a means of expressing something they cannot say.

One person said to see a mental health professional and I agree with that 100%. Cutting is a symptom of another problem, and it is an addicting behavior and once you do it the easier it is to do. Later on the scars it leaves are much harder to cover.

I am proud that you asked and recognized that maybe something isn't quite right. Take that next step and talk to someone. This is a very treatable problem if you are willing to put in the time and effort to change and find other ways to express yourself.

It's not easy but its worth it.
