I do understand what you are trying to say. I do agree. I cut myself but not so deep. I don't cut deeper. I still feel alright if I scratch myself. It won't do anything to me. It will get rid of my emotional pain. However, it can get addicting and might be a way to cope. You may want to cut deeper so you can feel better from it. If someone cuts deeper, then there is a risk of hitting a vein or damaging something. Even infected cuts are an issue too. I remember I cut myself with a really sharp knife and I split my skin open a bit. I was shocked. I didn't get it treated though. It's your choice. You can do whatever you want. It's your life and your choices.
