and they cutt the same reason we take meds for bp. cause it gets rid of the mental pain
cutting is a coping mechanism, but it isn't overall healthy for you or your life. it causes more problems than it does solutions.
taking meds, on the other hand, is a healthy step forward for nearly all bipolars.
i do have to say though ... if you don't get it, you won't. i was a cutter. years ago. in high school. i think it was an abused adolescent kind of thing for me. i did feel like it got rid of some mental pain.
you don't cut your face because most cutters don't do it for attention. most hide it really carefully.
anyway i'm just glad that i haven't done it in 12 years or so. i'm getting older, i guess. ha.
i hadn't even thought of people who do it for reasons of true insanity... i'm sure there are those who cut their faces.
it's crazy to me.
People do it for many reasons. I won't even try to go into it here, but if you want to try to understand more, send me a message and I will do what I can to help.
