I used to have a list of reasons why in my head, but at this point right now, I don't even know why I do it anymore.

I don't feel as much of a need anymore, but when I did, it was to deal with whatever I was feeling at the time. Anxiety and loneliness were a couple of these. Now I only do it when I feel overwhelmed and I just need to.

I haven't hurt myself in a long time but it used to be to punish myself... like if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

It depends on the episode...because there's a lot of reasons I do it:
~ When I'm numb and just want to feel. ~ When I just don't know how to express my emotions. ~ When I'm angry with myself; to abuse myself. ~ When I'm feeling lonely and depressed. ~ Just because it feels good; it's very addictive...I like the feeling of blood. |

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. __________________ E-nigh-matic%and%BasTARDed.php Last edited by Lenighma; Oct 29, 2009 at 11:33 AM.. Reason: Perfectionist |

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.

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.
