you have to tell someone. you sound like you have borderline personality disorder. I have it. you need help. trust me when i say that if you get help now it will get better. I suggest you read up on BPD. look on the net, but also there is a book I am reading called I hate you dont leave me. its all about BPD. Please tell someone.

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. If cutting and the pain that results causes you to get an adrenaline rush, then low blood sugar is probably the cause.
Suggestion? Put off cutting for 30 minutes the next time you feel the need. Go to the kitchen and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, an apple or some carrots/celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something else for 30 minutes. You may find your need to cut has lessened a bit.
Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

In addition to professional help, you might want to supplement your inventory with this book: "The Feeling Good Handbook" by Dr. David Burns. In it, he tells you how to deal with a host of mental issues. I don't think he specifically deals with "cutting", but he does address several issues that could lead to it. It would be worth a try... it's only about $15.00. Reading the book and following the "exercises" cured me of major recurrent depression which, according to two psychiatrists, I would never likely overcome. How you think affects how you feel.

If you are cutting yourself, you need to reach out for help. This is not normal and it is harming yourself. If you tell someone, they won't feel bad or worry if they can get you to a place where you can receive help.
