Does cutting really hurt you?!

Yeah it does hurt but that's the whole point to get rid of the emotional pain into easier to cope with physical pain as a temporary distraction people that use this technique usually don't handle strong emotions very well and need to find healthier ways of coping through cognitive behavior therapy.

No matter how deep, Long, short, shallow the cuts are there are always risks of infection which can lead to infection which can cause gangrene which can lead to losing your arm or whichever limb your cutting on.

As far as endangering your life... No cutting and making minor incisions isnt going to harm your overall welfare if the cut isnt deep enough for you to bleed out and if it is clean so it doesnt get infected.

The reason cutting is considered bad it the psychological and emotional direction it shows your leading in. The masochistic actions show a disregard for your own welfare which means over time the cuts will get deeper and less clean to offer the same effect. And eventually cutting wont be enough at all and you will move to more damaging actions.

So no cutting itself isnt much more damaging than stubbing your toe. But it can lead to huge health and psychological issues down the road.

Small, clean cuts hurt in itself. But it does so much stuff to your head that sooner or later you won't care how deep or how jagged the cuts are, and that's where you have the problem. Plus it takes a lot to hide the cuts if you want to. And then it does a lot of stuff to your head where you want to tell somebody but then you don't and it gets really confusing. So don't do it :) Plus there are people who care about you and wouldn't want you hurting yourself. Whenever you feel like cutting though you could put a rubber band on your wrist and snap it, that's a lot better. Just don't hurt cut yourself ok? :)

Cutting yourself is never the answer. You need to find other ways to vent. Even if it doesn't hurt you that much physically, it could have a mental affect on you. The best advise i can give is don't cut yourself.

Are you a surgeon? No? Then you have no business engaging in an activity that could cause infections, gangrene, amputation, and blood loss. Or maybe you do, and then we'd have fewer stupid people in the world.
