I've been thinking about this a lot since the people at the institution always ask why I cut. There are just so many factors.
1. I want to punish myself. I hate myself and I want to hurt me.
2. It calms be down and reliefs my anxiety.
3. As I have extreme mood swings, I need open sores to remind myself that I'm still mentally ill when I'm feeling a bit better.
4. It helps bringing me back to reality when I'm dissociating.
5. Sometimes I guess I just want people to notice and care for me, even though I hide them as I don't want anyone to see.
6. It helps me avoid abusing drugs, throwing up my food after eating, suicide and other destructive behaviours... even though I usually end up drinking a lot while cutting.
What are your reasons? I'm trying to make some sence out of this situation. Sorry if I triggered any of you.
