Hello,
My name is Paul, and I am sorry to hear about you having the need to cut. I know how you feel, because I have been there myself. You are internalizing your pain and anger. You would rather hurt yourself by cutting then lash out or hurt the one that has hurt you. Self-mutilation is a coping mechanism to relieve emotional pain or discomfort. It can be classified under the defense mechanism known as dissociative disorder. Dissociative disorder is brought on by psychological trauma you have experienced or are still experiencing. The emotional trauma has been pushed back into your unconscious mind, what Sigmund Freud refereed to as the ego. I believe you should talk to a therapist in order to relive yourself from this emotional trauma.
