I don't really know, but I have a friend and she cuts. She told me that when she does it, it makes her feel happy, but afterwards the cuts get infected if she doesn't put something on them, like alcohol, or peroxide. Most people who cut don't wear short sleeves or any thing, so no one will see their cuts and ask them about it.

Some people prefer physical pain rather than emotional pain so they try to cover it up with physical.

So, if endorphins are what makes u happy while cutting yourself, wouldn't exercising have the same effect??

*sighs*
Is it necessary to have so many threads related to cutting? I'll explain it the best that I can from my experiences... Once you've broken down to the point of cutting, it doesn't hurt you while you're doing it. It gives you a rush. It makes you feel alive for a few minutes. It helps you feel better after you think you've hit rock bottom. After doing it for a while, it becomes almost an addiction. It becomes a habit. It becomes part of your daily rituals. It's hard to quit. Most people cut because the physical pain feels better than the emotional pain they're currently going through. Some people cut for the hell or it and some people cut for attention. The people I'm talking about in my post are people that have broken down to the point of it. I'm not talking about attention whores or people that like blood. Each situation is slightly different from another. People have their own personal reasons for doing so. Examples: family issues, friend issues, dating issues, grades, death, sexual relationships gone wrong, etc., etc. It's really hard to explain. I don't even know why I chose to start. There was a lot of shit building up in my life and I seemed to think it would be a way out. It's usually a spur of the moment type of choice. I'll stop boring you. *end of post* |

Cutting, I`ve heard, only saying secondhand, makes you feel better, because it makes it like you can control your pain.

some people need to cut to help them deal with their problems in a negative way by cutting. just a way for them to deal with emotions and by making little cuts they can easily cut themselves.

thinking about it psychologically, people who do it are in pain/depressed and can't get control of that pain/depression. So, they cut themselves because they CAN control that pain. So, one motivator is control (im not saying that this is the only motivator). x_X I love Psychology.

why dont you try and see...? no just kidding. cutting makes you feel better about things for like what, 1 second? its reverse physcology. you wanna hurt everyone who hurt you, but you cant... you just do it on yourself. i dunno.

i asked my friend this same thing a long time ago.
she said it relieved the pain that she's been holding inside for a long time. and when i asked her if if it made her feel better, she said it did. and that it was addictive. she cut herself three times already, all deep. then i asked her if she cared enough for herself and others around her to not cut. after that conversation, she stopped. |

It does relieve pain. Really, I felt like I could breathe for the first time when i did it. I feel so much better afterwards.

well i used to cut. i stopped. but like when you cut yourself, it's really hard to describe why you do it. you just do. maybe...um...well because you have a f**ked up life, and that is the only way you can release the pain. but n0w ... i really don't see the point in it anymore.
