ok so i was talking with a friend and was thinking why do we cut ourselves? like why would be put ourselve's through more pain than what is needed? well so i have thought of two possible reason's that sort of help me understand my cutting more. and idk if this is how you guy's feel or not. and if you have any other thought's on why you think you or other people cut please voice your oppions.
1- this is how i mostly am when i cut. well i'm not very good at talking with people i usually can't get how i'm feeling out so i usually keep it all inside of me and so i just feel like i have this bottle inside of me that has all my emotion's and it's like how you shake a soda and it get's really fizzy and once you open it it all spray's out really fast. well so i have this bottle in me and once i cut it's liek opening that bottle and letting all the pain and everything just come spraying out but it come's out in blood. so that's kind of one reason. lol.
2- and idk if this will make sence lol. but ok so i was thinking that ok before we cut we usually feel alot of emotion in us and it's usually caused by other people weather they ment it or not. And we just hurt so much from what they said or the way they acted that we cut ourselves because then we have hurt ourselve's and dealing with what we did to ourselve's is a lot easer to deal with then dealing with the hurt and pain of someone else caused. i hope that made sence lol. aleast that's the way i feel. because i can deal with the pain and hurt that i caused myself but i can't deal with the pain and hurt that someone else has caused on me.
so thoes are just my thought's and a lil to why i cut and stuff. like i said if you guy's have anyother thought's or would like to comment on my thought's please go right ahead.

I' do it so i know that i can feel pain sometimes when i feel really numb
or when i need to release my emotions if i get stressed out sometimes ill be sat there when im stressed and i wont realise ive scrached my arm till it has started to bleed its almost your mind telling you to destract yourself and it can show the pain your in!
for me though it just turns anger/upset into guilt which sometimes is easier to cope with!
dunno if i make sense but meh
