You are self-mutilating your body. You do this because of some deep rooted problem that either happened in your childhood or happened rather recently. Self-mutilating is a form of punishment yet at the same time it can give ones self a high too.
Do some investigative work yourself. Acknowledge your areas of depression, disappointments, and anger. Then acknowledge your areas you are most pleased with, that make you smile, and that make you feel good.
Do you have a counselor or a therapist you could talk to about your behaviors? Are you taking any medications for your depression? If you answered no to both questions, then you need to seek out medical treatment. Go to your doctor and tell him or her about what you do, your doctor may be able to refer you to someone that could help you with this. Self-mutilation is a part of mental illness. I wish you well and I hope you start feeling more positive about yourself. Good luck!

Someone really close to me used to burn herself when she was so upset and didn't know how to deal with the emotional pain. Some people call it self mutilation or self harm (there's a few different names) and it can be pretty traumatic for the person doing it and for those that are close to them. This behaviour usually presents itself in people with severe depression. If you're cutting yourself, you should consider speaking with a professional who can help you to deal with problems in a way that doesn't harm yourself. Be well.

i do and am trying to stop with medication to help but it is not really working all the way. i do it because i hurt inside and i need the feeling that i get from this cutting and people that don't cut just don't get it. sometimes i get tattoos to help me thru the urge to cut, but that is just a temporary fix. cutting is an addiction of it's own and is hard to stop, yes i am suicidal too, but the two are different.

why do you cut yourself? i mean, do you do it to feel pain because you think you're so numb, you don't feel anymore? don't, it's just not worth the scars on your skin.
