Take it from a veteran, it's not worth it...now, every time I have to put on a hospital gown, I have to take twenty minutes of my life explaining my cuts to the MD and convincing them that I don't need to be in the psychiatric unit

Not necessarily, all cutters don't cut for the pain, some do it for the blood letting. I don't even feel it when I cut, haven't in years.

Having said that, if this is a new thing for you, stop it before it gets started. Its not worth it and there are many, many other healthy coping skills that you can use to manage your emotions and feelings.
