I cut to relive the pain, to see my blood, and to feel like myself. I don't feel right if I don't cut.

i cut to relise pain, hearing voices,relise some anger too. :(

i cut 2 help with my anxiety and depression. not 2 try and kill myself, i dont want 2 die, it just kinda takes my mind of things that r going on in my life and the way they make me feel. i hate 2 cut, i think its stupid, but when i get upset it's all i can think about.

I cut to relese the strong anger I get. As well as the depression.

I cut to get a sense of relief to let all the pain and the anger disappear, it lasts for a short time but after I feel ashamed and I wish I hadent done it.

To survive. To concentrate on the physical pain rather than on the emotional pain. That's all.

For me, cutting is a complete adrenaline rush, and makes me feel alive in a way that nothing else can. I also do it as a way to punish myself because I hate myself so much most of the time. I don't want to hurt others, but I feel like I deserve it.

Release and Relief.

i have created cutting to be anything i need it to be..if i feel that i need to be punished i cut..if im sad i use it as a release...if im happy it lets me know everything is alright..it really is a wierd behavior but i dont know how i would cope without it...

I cut when I already feel hurt and like crap. I could go into some long explanation of why I do that when I feel that way, but the short, simple, and really the most accurate answer is: I have no fucking clue. I just do it. I started in the 7th grade, when I had a crush on an 8th grader who did it (and I later learned he only cut because he had a crush on a freshman that cut her retarded-self) so I tried it, and well, I kept an open-mind, and it wasn't all that bad. So I kept doing for years and it just sort of became a natural response for me. I still do it. I admitt to being emo/scene/slightly goth/wtfever. I cut because that's just what I do, when I'm sad, angry (at myself or soemone else), when I'm lonely, when someone yells at me, when I screw up, or fail. Cutting isn't a good thing, and my friends know I'll beat them if I see them doing it, but call me a hypotcrit I guess...

i started cutting when my boyfriend hurt me really really badly emotionally
so i do it to know that im the only one who can hurt myself. i am in control of when i do it and how often i do it. i can make it hurt as much or as less as i want it to.
i always like it that its not emotional pain and its real pain so i have a good reason to be feeling pain. feeling anything is better than feeling the emotional pain i felt.

I cut or burn myself to inflict pain. To feel something rather than numb...to see the blood and be reminded I'm still alive. I cut because I can't get control of my emotions. When I feel out of control and need control over something in my life, I cut. I cut to feel the pain again and punish myself for something stupid I did or said. But I've tried to give up this habit...I just don't know what to do with these feelings I stil have when I want to cut but don't do it.

i cut to feel something, to become numb, to forget by concentrating on the blood and pain, to relieve the anger i feel building up, the depression, if i feel anything, sometimes i just cut to cut..
