Answer 1

Self injurers in my experience (I was one) tend to fall into two categories...those that injure themselves to get rid of emotional pain and those who injure themselves to feel. I personally fall into the first category...to the average individual, this sort of behavior sounds sick and twisted...and I guess it is...but to us ut makes perfect sense. For me, I was in so much emotional pain...I hurt inside and I kept things bottled up and had a lack of proper coping skills. The only way i could figure out how to relieve that emotional pain was through cutting. When one cuts, the physical pain feels so much better because we arent thinking about the emotions we feel. We have something physical to focus on. It seemed to relieve my stress when I was focused on the physical pain. Even when I was doing it I made an effort to stop...I had my friends hide all my sharp objects over at their houses. I remember one night my pain got so bad though that after I couldnt find anything sharp in the house, I had the bright idea of taking a disposable razor and breaking it to the point that I could get the blade out of there. That didnt work...thats why no one took it from me I guess... so I took and bent the blade to where it was sticking out just enough for me to cut with and I sliced up my forearm. Then I cleaned it out with an alcohol pad and took almost 900 milligrams of Seroquel (an antipsychotic). I just wanted to stop feeling the emotional pain. Send me an email ([e-mail]) or send me an im (boredcrazy21224) and I will tell you much more, I just dont want to write it all down here. Ask me anything you want to know.
I eventually stopped, thank God.

Answer 2

I am one of those people who used to self mutilate. It can made me feel better. What it does works this way. When you feel like your whole world is falling apart and you feel that you can't take it anymore and nothing can go right in your life the only way to relieve the hurt is to start cutting on yourself. It is a way of relaxation, it lets everything that you have been thinking of just flow out of your body. It helps because no longer are you feeling the stress that you were feeling prior to putting up with the whole world going to pieces. When I used to self mutilate I would take a glass break it and just start hacking away on my wrists, my legs and my arms. Then I had to figure out how I was going to be able to hide it when I went to work everyday. What I know now is that my Psychiatrist has told me that it is a sign of a Psychotic Disorder and I am now on the proper medication to control it Thank God. No longer to I have to hide all of the cuts all over my wrists and hands. Remember on thing alright people who self mutilate are NOT trying to kill themselves. It is a way to stop all of the stress by relieving through cutting. Once you do it the stress is not there and you can go on with your life at least that is the way that it happened to me. Please don't try it and take care and God Bless. If you would like to know anything more you can contact me at [e-mail]. Good Luck.

Im 27 years old and i cut myself. been doing it for years. want 2 stop, but cant. it's like, no, it is an addiction. i have great parents. but they never talked about things like i wanted them 2. i deal with a lot of pain inside me and i cant turn 2 them. i started doing it b/f i even knew anything about it. people have their own ways of handling problems, i cant deal with my own pain, so i distrack it by causing physical pain 2 myself. it feels better than the emotional pain. when i feel like no way out, & dont know what 2 do, i turn 2 the only thing that makes it better.but for some reason, i only cut on my left arm, i dont know why.i dont want to die, i just want whatevers hurting me at the time to go away. i dont like the physical scars, but they beat the emontional ones.i know its not right & i know i should get help, but every time i'd tried to talk 2 someone bout it, they dont wanna listen, they just want me 2 stop & not talk about it with me.its my escape.
