I cut an burn myself to try an stop the pain on the inside, its a relief for a short while. I also do it when i'm angry with myself or at others, when i'm anxious or scared an when i don't know what else to do! Sometimes i jus do it cos i want to.

different reasons. Anger at friends, when i feel noone understands, when i remember things i dont want to, last time i felt so stressed and that everything was to much for me and i did so that i could feel in control of my life again. Sometimes the thing that pushes me over the edge to do it is that i love the taste of blood. Which may sound creepy, but its true.

I cut to release my anger, sadness...primarily all directed at myself. And because it feels good and calm(ed) me down. I happen to love the taste of blood. But that doesn't work anymore, calming down, so I guess I just cut when I feel like it...
I bang my head against the wall because I'm trying to knock myself out...and for many other reasons, like simply being angry at myself. But to knock myself out mostly. I NEED to be knocked out, like a permanent coma or something... I squeeze my head because I hate the skin I'm in.

I cut when I'm angry and nothing else provides relief, when I'm numb, hopeless, helpless, seeing blood makes me feel alive

I cut when I am numb, overwhelmed, angry and feeling alone or uncared about. Sometimes the reason will be because I want the attention of people who will care, but once I do it I'm terrified they will find out.
These are almost always the reasons why I start, and then I continue to do so because I become addicted to the good feeling. |

Many reasons. I don't like who I am and hurting myself seems like the only way. I want to be able to control the pain I feel instead of only others controlling it. It helps cover up the pain on the inside. To numb everything. To end it all. Because I don't like what I look like and making a scar takes the hate in my head away from me to it. To release my feelings. To feel alive. To know that if all else fails there is this one simple thing that can make everything go away, that can solve all problems with one simple action. And more.

I do it because it temporarily makes the pain of anything go away. I am depressed and I get super frustrated, angry, upset, etc easily and when I do thats my way of calming down.

Sometimes I cut when I'm feeling numb. Other times when I can't calm myself down.

Addiction to it
An outward expression of inner pain An excuse to nutrue myself as I take care of my injuries I find beauty in watching blood flow out of my body

i'm not cutting...switched methods ...don't want to be all detailing about it but trying to reduce scarring...but when I do what it is that I do...its to punish. Keep myself in line..also when i'm upset and feel like just so lonely and no one will listen or can't save me or i just have to suck it up b/c it's just LIFE and people can be mean...then SI just is the only thing that burns it out of me. it's symbolic I guess.

To punish myself. That was the reason the very first time... when I was... like 12, I think.
Now it varies, generally it's still to punish myself. There are times though that it's easier to redirect the pain and have it on the outside and controlled instead of inside. Most of the time, it feels like I'm more in control Every once in a while it's felt like I had no control, and those are when the scariest incidents happen.

To release tension.
To feel something. To escape. To relax. To punish myself. For the scar. For the blood. Because I feel like I need to. Because I want to. |

to punish myself for what a bad and worthless person I am. I deserve the pain and disfigurement.

Because it is a distraction... And it's fun, which scares me, because I shouldnt enjoy it, but I do. Even a little blood just makes me feel calm.
