i also do it when i have too much ickiness (yep that's the technical term i think). i'm not very good at figuring out my own emotions or what causes them so it helps me sometimes to hurt myself so that i can see the angry marks. like making the ephemeral emotion of pain/anger/hurt/rage whatever into something concrete. something i can see and understand.

maybe that's just me. hope that helps.
