it makes you feel better because when you injure yourself, your brain "panics" and releases endorphins, which make you happy.

Do you have any idea why you wan't to cut? Avoiding emotions? To feel alive or stop feeling numb? To try to feel numb?

Until you figure out what need the cutting is fulfilling, it will be really hard for you to figure out what to do to stop.

I know, because I cut sometimes too, and those times when I feel like I can't figure out a reason are the hardest ones to stop myself.

U hav to tell someone about what happened. It is not ok for him to do that to you. That is why you are cutting. It will be so hard to stop until you do something about the problem.

I can relate to the cutting I do it myself also. I do it to escape the way that I am feeling at the time.

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.
