I also thought I was the only one that did that before I saw your thread

For me I think the reasons I used to cut when I'm hyper were from anxiety and the feeling of wanting to slow down and feel in control, mostly of my thoughts that are annoyingly fast at times. Another reason might have been boredom. When I'm really hyper I'm usually on my computer, playing video games, listening to music, and writing a song and still feel a ridiculous need to multitask even more.

Maybe some of your reasons are similar. Personally I find it hard to figure out the reasons behind my SI. I don't know if you're the same way, but if you are maybe you can recognize some of the things I mentioned, they might be similar to you.

Well, recently the whole SI thing has showed up for me. I never realized before that I'd been doing SI... So anyway, I recently posted on here about what I was going through. It was weird because I'd been very hyperactive and felt so out of control. I guess I was happy, but either way, my mind wouldn't shut up. It was going on and on and on and I was so bored man. I was the boredest of all the bored people in the world. My brain started coming up with weird thoughts that I'd never experienced before. But yes, I've noticed that I feel like SI when I'm way depressed or angry, but also now I have even 'crazier' thoughts when my brain is going on and on.

i dont really no my reason for when i'm hyper cutting
i actually love the adrinalin when i'm up compared to when i'm down but it worries the people around me scence when i'm hyper i usaully try to hurt my self in public(school) or i would bust a pen open and play with the ink.
i think you cut because you want control in your life or like you said your boredit'll be okay
i'm just glad i'm not alone

Usually happens to me when I'm drunk, playin' video games, and about to go to bed.
I get the urge, and start... I get angry that I'm not doing it hard enough, deep enough, fast enough... I go into a bit of a frenzy, get carried away and start getting a bit hyper and manic.
You're not the only one!

definately not the only one especially the thing about in public, i generally try to hide any si from everyone but if im in sorta manic or even hypomanic mood then i suddenly stop caring who's watching, this was mainly a few yrs ago when i was in school but has happened a few times since then,
